The saying is "vote with your wallet". It just means that if you are unhappy with what a company is doing, stop buying their products.

People voting their wallet is why society is falling into disrepair.

Nobody wants to pay for infrastructure, schools, social programs so they vote against any taxes, levy, etc.

Off we slide into a Libertarian utopian dark age.

I have other ideas for how I could vote, but The Man doesn't want me talking about those
