It's a sort of proxy to quality of life.

While a good economy doesn't necessarily mean high quality of life, it's sort of a pre-requisite.

It's one of the only ones they might listen to. If you say "what you're doing is morally wrong", they'll just say "no it isn't, what you're doing is morally wrong."

If you say "what you're doing is impoverishing your nation and hurting everyone you care about", they might actually take some action.
