“Dollar Voting is a real thing, with real, immediate results. Perhaps politics, and the drama created by corporate media around politics, has left you with apathy for the whole thing. Who can blame you? You are the majority!”

Infrastructure creates more commerce.
Dollar Voting is the concept that spending money has a political result. In contrast, voting in an election is the equalizer - no matter how rich or poor, your vote is the same. We only get one vote each. However, voter turnout in the voting booth is low, just like public confidence in the system itself. We blame the politicians, no matter who we elect, because little seems to change.
And the cycle starts all over again... If it weren’t for the money we spend, there would be nothing to govern!
Passing The Buck! The truth is that our elected representatives could never solve the problems. None of them. The false expectation that they ever could is the real problem. Think about it like this - our government exists because of commerce... Commerce creates taxes.
How often do you consider the political implications of your spending habits? Dollar Voting is a real thing, with real, immediate results. Perhaps politics, and the drama created by corporate media around politics, has left you with apathy for the whole thing. Who can blame you? You are the majority! Democratically speaking, your lack of engagement in the process is a vote of no confidence!
Taxes create government.
However, you still vote every day. Dollar Voting is prevalent, constant, and we all do it.
Government uses taxes to create infrastructure.
This is how change will happen, with your spending. The Buck Stops Here Lately a lot has happened regarding money in politics. The Citizens United
v. FEC ruling from the Supreme Court in 2010 established that corporations and unions could spend as much as they choose, to affect the political conversation. However, there is still a limit on individual donations to candidates for office. This contrast created a clearer picture of where political power is sourced. Money. Always has been, always will be. And that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s only bad when the average person doesn’t realize that they are voting Dollar Voting - all the time!
