While Mr. Sprout is indeed correct about the quality and nutritional value of the grease and crap that fast food dishes out, he has succumbed to a bit of corporate "duck-speak" with the illusion of voting with dollars. The "one dollar, one vote" thing will only continue to entrench the wealthy in the control over the lives of the working people of the world.
If every person had an equal vote, in a true democracy, then we could finally see meaningful changes in the way things are done.
Join as democratic union like the IWW, with no union boss who herds workers for the corporate boss (his fishing buddy).
Organize and fire the bosses!
