Why isn't everyone audited?

We don't assign a police officer to each driver, either.

========================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT: It might be time to close this conversation.

I have had two accountants urge me to cheat on my taxes because it would be foolish not to. The second actually did it despite my telling him not to because he routinely does it for everyone, and I had to file an amended return to make it right

I think a cursory audit would bring in a great deal more than it costs. Admittedly even more benefit would come from an understandable tax code, but that obviously is never going to happen.

I don't know where you are from, but your sample might not be representative.
