They only need to mask the decline of our economic state until the elections are over.
There's no need to get your tin-foil hat on - there are enough problems with this plan without any conspiracy theory.

The amount being pushed out the door is inconsequential compared to the overall market decline - there's your starting point.

This is only true if you schedule your own taxation in this fashion - you have literally dozens of other options, from quarterly payments to non-payment, that would allow you to not give an interest-free loan to the government.

In short, you have no one to blame but yourself if this is true.
