It may not have been... I can see a clever (evilly clever) capitalist taking advantage of an idiotic law. Not useful to society -- other than it exposes, once again, that the Government should keep its nose out of businesses -- but if there is easy and legal money for the taking ... why not? Good intentions, or not, the Government needs to stop trying to 'engineer' business or social solutions. It is not government's job. Just protect the borders, maintain a strong defense (to discourage wars), build the roads, and maintain an equitable, and impartial, legal system... I just made myself laugh...
