I figure McCrony et al are wanting to use the deception to move $$ from the populated counties to the rural areas, thus the latest tax scheme: taxing car repairs, vet visits, and appliance installs and sending 80% of the money to rural areas. It's bullshit of course, but my understanding is that's how it works/will work.
