(3,795 posts)I try my very best to not spend any money with most of the multinational companies listed in this post.
I am waiting for the AMERICAN (left, right, moderate) movement that might one day grow that purposefully spends their money on locally owned, mom and pop organizations whenever possible. I'd settle for a leftist movement at this point in time, but I know many right wingers that try and spend their money with local businesses too.
If we're ever going to rebuild our middle class we have to break the backs of the big multinational corporations that continue to transfer money and wealth from our local communities to Wall Street.
Whenever possible, please try and find local businesses to support for anything you spend money on. Many even offer senior discounts too!
