This is an identity politics red line. If non-whites are literally immune to law and order, to the tune of trillions of dollars, then you're going to start seeing tax revolts. I know, nothing ever happens. But fucking people out of their money is one of the most reliable ways to trigger real action.
The problem is the government buffers it and prints money and it all seems pretend. If they were stealing $1000 directly from random citizens, they'd be dead by the end of the day, but millions, billions, even trillions of government waste? It's just background noise.
