As long as they have guard rails about WHAT they do with their time.

Right now, statistics show most audits are of low wage earners.

In fact, those earning 25k are audited at 5x the rate as everyone else.

I get it... the grandmother that sells homemade candles at the farmers market is probably taking $300 a year out of the mouth of the Federal Tax System...

How about auditing ever damn wealthy person who uses shell co's to write off a huge chunk of expenditures??

I'll support 187,000 new agents if they're not picking on low income Americans.
