| No, that's not what they are saying. They are saying that the literal reading of the term itself implies that poor people have less of a say than rich people. |

| It would if the saying was "vote with your dollars" or "vote with the dollars in your wallet". A literal reading of the term means you signal your vote/opinion by choosing what to pay for and it can hurt businesses since they have to generate revenue, not that $1 = 1 vote. |

From this you would get that poor people would have thinner wallets and thus less effect on outcomes where money is a factor. | | |
| ▲ | altmanaltman 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Fair enough, but I would still agree to disagree since I dont think it refers to what's inside the wallet or any other quality about the wallet but just that you should vote by action and boycotts. But i mean, we are splitting hairs over semantics at this point. I could see both interpretations valid but i prefer mine. |
