I too plead ignorance in manners of finance, but I think the reasoning goes like this:

We live in a capitalist society, which thrives on free spending. The idea is that if people were given back this money, they would go out and spend it. This puts more money into the economy. this extra money can then be taxed again. Or something like that.
