The analogy doesn't really work though. Deliberately investing less IRS money into checking low capital individuals doesn't actually cause damage if it means there's more high net accounts being investigated.

It is vastly preferable for the whole economy that the people who are most likely to get away with fraud are also the ones with the lowest net wealth.
