Wealthy Democrats living abroad do not file US tax returns and the IRS never goes after them because they are friends with the leadership back in the country.

Hearsay from my friend who lives abroad and who was attending a Democrats abroad function and they kicked him out of the meeting after he suggested that they pass a rule that anybody who could be eligible to be elected to the board of directors should be able to pass a basic tax audit. There was support in the audience but the organizers immediately banned him.

There are stories of the IRS being used as a political weapon floating around online as well.

There are stories of alien abductions floating around online as well.

You're right my story is completely implausible

That's not my point. My point is that "there's stories of X floating around on the Internet" is basically the opposite of evidence.
