    “Vote with your wallet” means more money gets you more votes.

    This is the basic idea of capitalism. The more capital you have, the more say you have in directing the meas of production.

    Some people have so much capital, they can singlehandedly decide that thousands of people are going to work on some space launch company, for example.
