Yes, and it has been pointed by others many, many times that tax exemptions are a huge tell that taxes are way too high and beyond a constitutionally necessary rate of exaction. Also, offering exemption is really in some sense vote buying. And vote buying is a form of larceny and a breech of the trustee responsibility of legislative representatives.

And when one begins to confront elected officials of legislative bodies with this line of argument, they suddenly are at a loss as to what to say. And such officials are reluctant to admit the constitutions are suspended (even if they knew it) because then there would be even a lot more s'plaining to do.
