IRS agents go after wealthy tax cheats because they are scored and graded on how much money they recover and they're going to recover many many times more going after a wealthy tax sheet then they are going to go after some random Schwab who makes a little six figures or less.
I saw something on one of the news channels the other day, that seemed to indicate that the IRS indeed is going fairly heavily after the "Schwab" who makes 6 figures or less....
There's a ton of those, and they are easy pickings since they dont' have the resources for lawyers and heavy duty CPAs.....so, you can recover a LOT of $$ shaking down a LOT of small fish.
It's quicker too than going after a well lawyered up rich guy that can take years.
