My assumption is not empirically correct, I agree, but neither is the belief that IRS audits of mass populations is politically motivated.
It is simply ease, right? Easier to audit where it is easy returns, or where one will get a high return (eg: high return of audit hours vs audit returns). Similar to how people often suggest police can 'issue more fines' for speeding (easy, high volume) than for difficult crimes requiring risk and time.
