Well, let's see...
87,000 new IRS agents to audit people making over $400,000 a year...
2.8 million people making over $400,000 a year in the US currently...
About 250 work days in a year...
2800000/87000
2800/87
=~ 32
So, what are those agents going to do for the--let's be generous-- other 186 work days of the year (assumes they use an average of 2 days per person making $400,000+ and 100% are audited)?

Why lie? Half will be replacing retirees and the people they lost in the last 10 years of budget cuts. They will be at all IRS positions. The returns of the wealthy and corporations are huge and complicated.. They require a staff to audit. As an example, Trump is said to have more than 500 ghost companies. How long would his audit take?

Okay, then...
2800000/43500
2800/43.5
=~ 64
Same question: What are those agents going to do with the rest of their time? It won't take a full year of work on any agent's part to audit 100% of the people making $400,000+ a year in the US.
