It's stupid because it's yet one more example of gubmint (and other people) thinking they are entitled to your money.
It's as if they think your money belongs to the gubmint and if they allow you to keep a little of your own money, its somehow a subsidy.
In truth they are just hoping to get a little of it for themselves and they think if the gubmint gets it, their chances of getting some increases.

It's the gimmee gimmee gimmee crowd, people who truly believe they are entitled to your stuff because you earned it and they didn't.
