Because they LOVE their buzzwords and phrases. Another one is "Tax cuts for the rich". Its all chirp words get everyone in a line to say the same thing. These are linguistic programming techniques used by people to take advantage of younger people who dont understand how budgeting and accounting works in business. I know for a fact how companies do budgets because I build budgets for a very large corporation and forecast for very large events. If we know there is going to be a cut in expenses somewhere, we budget that expense in other categories. We already have predetermined PBIT values, so we don't just take off the expense, in most cases we just reallocate it to another account. Therefore giving us more room for labor or rental costs or travel costs. By reducing taxes, companies arent going to just leave that expense money on the table, they are going to reallocate it to other accounts to help run their businesses. Its not going to just go into a business owners pocket willy nilly like these art students are propagandized to believe...
That's a bit disingenuous. To entertain this for a minute, you act as if both 'sides' do not have their own 'buzzwords'.

Well yeah. There's no interest if there's no loan.

Sure, I was trying to come up with more of them but wasnt fully awake yet. That said, I dont particularly like these phrases because it attempts to take very complex things and pushes them into a buzz phrase to convince people making a change is going to ring the phrase. Like for example every single business operates differently, has different spending habits, budgets, revenue, debt, ect ect. And to attempt to paint every business with a broad brush is a fallacy. So they just pretend that everyone who owns a business is "rich" and act like thats a bad thing, and if we reduce their tax burden on the business than all of the sudden they are going to get even more rich and by golly we cant have that, so we better make sure that we paint all business the same to convince uneducated people that reducing taxes is just going to flow right into their pockets rather than be allocated to other areas on the income statement. Thats why they dont teach simple Accounting and budgeting in high school.
