You want airlines to work better? Fly Southwest and Jet Blue. You want the software industry to work better and allow people to build up more wealth? Buy something other than Microsoft OS.

You want big banks to get less money, and your own communities to get more money? Use a credit union, and don't use your credit card -- especially when you shop in stores owned by people in your community, and don't go into debt.

There are lots of way to use your economic power to your advantage rather that use it to diminish you political power and increase someone elses.

And some of those Democratic donors (and even some of the Republican ones) might be part of the solution, not the problem.
