What reason is that? Increased tax revenue (in the short term at least)? Because if there's no difference in the long term then it seems pretty dumb to inflict financial turmoil for no net gain.

Well, yes, increased tax revenue, of course. There may be no/little difference in the long term; that's over my economics pay grade. It seems like the model of raise a lot of money, spend a lot of money, expense it, pay no taxes, then go bankrupt is a pretty straightforward way there might be a difference long term. And that's a very common scenario, I think you'd agree.
