Not true.

This is a "viralization" of the article linked below, with this very clear headline:

    The IRS Now Audits Poor Americans at About the Same Rate as the Top 1%
That's of course a problem in itself, but very far from the "internet truth" that the rich don't get audited at all.

So totally true, but using not perfectly precise language for the sake of brevity, got it.

No.

"The rich are not audited" is not an imprecise way of phrasing "The rich are audited at much as everyone else".

Yes, you misread a chart and did not read the article you linked yourself.
