You are dying on an an hill made of data chosen in piecemeal by news outlets that profit off of your attention.

mk bud. i cant believe you still dont understand why those rates are misleading. good luck out there

i don’t see how they can be misleading. the average person understands the difference between rates/percentages and resulting totals.

are you suggesting that the wealthy get audited at such an increased rate so that their total number of audits are the same as normal people? that would require almost 100% of all returns to be audited which is ridiculous.

i’m ok with being wrong and learning, but none what what you suggest is fair or makes any sense


Please ignore my negative initial vote score, as I have the privilege of being bot-downvoted by CCP sympathizers because of comments on this post https://lemmy.world/post/2338419, there is also the possibility that I’m just an asshole.
