6. It is easy to stand and fight but few actually do

One can easily and painlessly fight back by their withholding of their labor and with every dollar they spend by spending that money in business that support your values.

Lots of people shop WalMart unfortunately, but WalMart did not get rich and powerful all alone it took lots of people, except the 1% to give WalMart its power, the 99% should take that power away from WalMart, but do we as a people have the courage to do so?

Everyone knows that Union Labor created the middle class in America but how many people regularly purchase non union made products? How does one expect to have a strong middle class if we who are left do not support union labor by purchasing their goods or shopping at businesses with union labor?

If we want change we have to fight for it and very few are really interested in standing and fighting.
