The same logic labels attempts to return Constitutional law to a bare reading of the language of the Constitution as "judicial activism." I think you parse too deeply when you describe a removal of social engineering-driven tax treatments as social engineering themselves. Returning things to an earlier status will have an effect, but if it brings us back to a less engineering-driven environment, I think using that label is illogical.
