2. Someone with a family of four
They probably get the Earned Income Tax Credit. Everyone KNOWS that the EITC is not to be used. It's only for show. <sarcasm>

3. You should have also included this entry:
"Anyone, regardless of income, that dares to publicly reveal any information unflattering to the current presidential administration."

4. The IRS goes after easy targets, not ones with large rewards
If you can afford the fee, I recommend having your taxes done by an Enrolled Agent (EA) rather than yourself or a standard vanilla H&R Block type preparer. The likelihood of a return prepared by an EA getting audited is very low, and an EA will represent you in the audit.

5. If you have over a million dollars
You probably do not pay taxes.

6. Make that ten million
Inflation has made that cool million barely middle class. To gain entry into the club that entitles one to insider stock tips and immediate access to Congress, one must have at least ten million in assets.
