A stricter bar because?

What issue do you have with people having post tax dollars? I don’t really understand this sentiment, it seems to be at odds with even the government’s goals.

You misinterpret. I mean a stricter bar for interpretation.

My own opinion on taxes is irrelevant—the parent poster cannot say “it’s legal, so it’s the intent of the law”.

This is true whether it’s a good or a bad law.

I see, just a stricter bar of scrutiny

I think this outcome passes the stricter bar of moral, just, intended, and something others should learn from
