But I think the reason there is a lot of anger is that employers that steal wages from employees often get away with just a fine, and that there are a lot of serious crimes that are committed by white Republicans where they get off with little or no penalty.

You can't have a just justice system where only certain types of people get the book thrown at them while others walk away with small penalties.
