    Vote with your money.

    I really hate this phrase. It basically is saying that if you have more money then you have more “votes”.

    Or to put it in another way: If you have more money you matter more.

        Yeah it is but it just irks me either way.

        Edit:

        I just want to clarify I am agreeing that in our current society that if you have more money you tend to be highly valued.

        I am not agreeing that this is how it should be.

          The crackhead down the road wasting away in his own piss and shit isn’t equally “valuable” to me or anybody that contributes to society in a positive manner. I don’t care how you spin it

      If you have more money, that means that society values you more. Thus you matter more. You’re just a better human being when you have more money.
