The "trickle down" political foundation of modern tax laws is definitely Kawaii, the local anti-homelessness laws when for example you can be fined/arrested for sleeping on the street (such laws recently were declared unconstitutional at some state Supreme Court or a federal district court, don't remember exactly) are protecting the Kawaii of the cities self-image and self-feeling, that wannabe black border wall is Kawaii, and even the current President - Cartman from South Park - is Kawaii.
