The problem with voting with your wallet is that the richer you are, the more times you can "vote". I'd rather vote with my actual vote.

- msandford 13y agoWealth != purchasing power. The 1% might have 80% of the nation's wealth tied up but the middle class and the poor have all the purchasing power. So long as they're intent on saving a buck whatever the cost, corporations will pander to them just as hard as they possibly can. No matter the human toll. Walmart treats their employees poorly because that's what has to happen for Walmart to work like it does, and just wow does everyone love it. Walmart could go bankrupt in a year if everyone just started shopping at Target. But nobody does because it's not their problem.
- jal278 13y agoThat's a true statement; but many companies that do terrible things make all their money not from the rich but from the middle-class and poor
