"That’s how capitalism works – you vote with your money."
And living in a mostly-democratic society, I'd prefer to vote with my vote and have laws reflect better standards of behavior than "lol here's your car, might need a fire extinguisher lol".
Voting with your dollars is fine, once a basic level of decency is achieved; my laundry soap isn't actively poisoning anyone no matter which brand I choose, because the factories have to meet regulations, the soap itself has to meet safety standards, and so on.
I'll vote with my dollars on my laundry detergent, but when it comes to how society is structured (what people are allowed to do or prohibited from doing), there's no substitute for voting with your vote.

Leading laundry detergents emit chemicals determined to be toxic and don't need to list ingredients.. :( http://www.washington.edu/news/2008/07/23/toxic-chemicals-found-in-common-scented-laundry-products-air-fresheners/ http://www.washington.edu/news/2008/07/23/toxic-chemicals-fo...
