The phrase itself seems to scare the bujeezus out of people who don't understand the concept. They automatically associate it with higher taxes.

Unfortunately, I honestly wonder about an ulterior motive as well. I've noticed a persistant trend to ignore it whenever Kucinich makes a statement that sets him apart from the Democratic pack. It's either ignored or intentionally edited to make him appear less than intelligent with the statement. Just an observation I've made, and it does happen to Dean quite a bit, too.(just not as noticable for me because mention of Dean seems more frequent than mention of Kucinich)
