An example is one old man with

Actually, we file by name and it

The bureau regularly checks
about 3 million of the SO million
plus returns that cover some 80
million men and women with tax
able incomes. Percentagewise, the
rich get more checking than the
poor. but any return is liable to
be pulled out for an audit.
