Sounds like a great reason for tageted tax cuts to me.

"A great political miracle this of "improving" the beauty of the most
beautiful of all mountain parks by cutting down its groves, and burying all
the thicket of azalea and wild rose, lily gardens, and ferneries two or three
hundred feet deep. After this is done we are promised a road blasted on the
slope of the north wall, where nature-lovers may sit on rustic stools, or
rocks, like frogs on logs, to admire the sham dam lake, the grave of Hetch
Hetchy. This Yosemite Park fight began a dozen years ago. Never for a moment
have I believed that the American people would fail to defend it for the
welfare of themselves and all the world. The people are now aroused. Tidings
from far and near show that almost every good man and woman is with us.
Therefore be of good cheer, watch, and pray and fight!"
