I don't think anyone would care if they used "Reagonmics" instead, or something like Obamacare, those are more usefully descriptive than partisan.
Regardless using a term that purposefully misrepresents the economics behind it is not a good way to start any online discussion or make a critique. And if it's not purposeful then is just demonstrates a poor grasp of the concept.
Why else would people take issue with it so often? I've seen that term discredited on HN many times, I'm not the first.
