I had to call the IRS once a few years ago to dispute their dispute of my tax returns and was put on hold for 2 hours, only to be told that my returns were correct all along.

Being put on hold like that sucks... But isn't that the outcome you wanted?

At this point, I would pay a few thousand dollars to be able to say that 'My secific issue with the government, which was created by them, was solved in about 2 hours'.

  Or a very small fraction of that in taxes, also ensuring vastly more equitable collections.

Last year I waited on hold for 45 minutes. When I reached the representative, she said she could only help me with generic questions rather than account-specific ones because her computer system was down. I asked when they expected the issue to be resolved so I could call back then, only to be told "Oh, it's just my system that's down. I'm just required to keep answering calls."
