Voting with your wallet

Listen while you read...

Democracy is a sham because the wealthy with fat wallets easily buy off politicians to serve their interests instead of the interests of the people who elected them. 

Because of media brainwashing, we are addicted to be consumers of largely unneeded and unhealthy products. We are free to buy whatever we want or need from whomever, whenever and from wherever we chose. By boycotting big businesses that sway politicians from representing us, we have great powers of influence.

Nestle promotes that water is not a human right but rather a product that humans need, like food. They are lobbying to control drinking water supplies. 

Monsanto is lobbying to control our food supply by gene manipulation that causes plants to produce sterile seeds.

Just one of the many factory farms that deplete soil and mistreat animals can be turned into 1,000 family farms that provide local produce that do not need to be transported around the world. 

 

Just one of the many giant retail stores can be turned into 1,000 family run stores where shoppers have less need to use their cars and can catch up on local gossip. 

 

Smaller hospitals can be managed more safely than larger hospitals riddled with hidden germs.

 

Smaller schools are much more student friendly than large centralized ones that need to bus in their thousands of students from far away neighborhoods.

Some of the reasons to boycott companies or governments are: 

if they abuse human rights, 

exploit workers, 

employ children, 

treat animals in a cruel way, 

rape nature, 

market products harmful to health and environment, 

invade our privacy, 

use misleading labels, or 

avoid paying taxes. 

With the availability of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology, even banks can be boycotted.

When corporations get too big, and fail, instead of protecting them with “too big to fail” mentality, we can just let them fail and let smaller firms grow to take their place. 

Corporations that are too big are unfair competition for the smaller ones that get left behind. 

They eventually grow into dangerous monopolies that threaten to take away variety and our freedom of choice.

Small is beautiful. Nature ensures us that if things, like mountains, get too big, they get eroded and crumble and get dispersed and spread out. When we put all our eggs in one basket, we can end up losing all our eggs. Life that is too old dies and makes way for new variety and new growth. 

Everyone has a wallet and everyone can vote with it every day to protect themselves, their family, their earth and their morals. Unlike with normal voting where one vote, your vote, can be argued not to make any difference, how you vote with your wallet determines directly with what you consume.
