If funding was at one level, and you decrease it, and the backlog of undone case work increases afterwards, it points to a pretty simple conclusion.
I'm talking very specifically about administrative issues here, philosophical musing about the nature of taxation is besides my point (and more generally completely unhelpful when it comes to actually getting stuff done).
If people want to eliminate IRS case work by eliminating a bunch of these 501(c)(abcdewhatever) categories, that's fine by me. But the work exists and it needs to get done. The way you get it done is by people doing it, for salary.
As far as 'others could do this job better', you're suspicious of taxes and want to hand it off to a private contractor or something? I can't say that that makes sense to me.
