Brian Kroshus, the North Dakota tax commissioner, deserves praise for how effectively his office is servicing the public even though he doesn’t stuff the envelopes. His turnaround time is only a few days, compared to the Internal Revenue Service’s months.
(If Commissioner Kroshus ever uses this complement in a political campaign, I will deny ever saying it and make plausible temporary insanity or another excuse.)
The Tax Department has been a well-run government department for more than 50 years, despite serving thousands of individuals. Former U.S. Senators Heidi Heitkamp, Kent Conrad, and Byron Dorgan served as commissioners for the organization.
Regarding the IRS, I paid too much for 2021 and submitted my return on April 15. I’ve been going to the mailbox for the past sixty days in the hopes that my refund will show up so I can go out.
I should have asked them to transmit it electronically, but I figured handling the paper would be more enjoyable, so I requested that they send it to me instead. Imagine it as a fund set aside for enjoyable activities.
Now I could think that the mail service, not the IRS, is to blame. That would be reasonable given the rising costs of mail and the lengthening of delivery times. Some things rise and remain there forever.
The IRS now has a good justification. The anti-tax movement, which would do everything in its power to eliminate all taxes, has stifled it in Congress. If they are unable to eliminate the income tax, they aim to make it harder for the IRS to collect.
Those who are evading paying their fair part of the wealth benefit from it. They look for every possible loophole, and when they discover that they still owe taxes, they make an effort to reduce the number of IRS auditors who might identify more loopholes than is permitted by law. It’s a scheme used by the wealthy.
The IRS has been receiving decreasing amounts of funding from Congress, and as a result, the agency now only has a skeleton staff and requires me to wait at least two months for my return.
The fact that billions of tax funds escape each year, making those of us in the middle class pay more than our fair share, makes it a system scam.
Federal tax regulations apply to everyone equally, except for the loopholes. That might be a contradiction given that the system is rigged and does not apply equally due to the loopholes. It’s true that not every taxpayer has access to a loophole.
When we lower the scale to the state level, we find that every state has its own particular loopholes that favour the state’s most powerful economic, political, and social forces. In an antiquated federal framework, that translates to 50 separate tax schemes.
For those who work for the numerous, growing number of interstate corporations and businesses, it makes life difficult.

The federal government provides additional funding to states because they lack the guts to levy greater taxes.
Furthermore, when they use it, they fail to give the federal government credit for its portion.
Federalism has been losing its vitality for the last 100 years due to this reliance on the federal government.
Because the intergovernmental nature of the finances has rendered the two levels of government indistinguishable, we no longer have two distinct levels of government.
Maybe I’ll get my refund before Black Friday so I can take advantage of all the great sales I missed while I waited for Congress to provide the IRS with the funding to recoup from the cheaters.
