I would point out the recent fun little study showing that the class we are (those who work for a salary) have less say in policy outcomes than the rich (those who do not require a salary).

They bill it as "The US is more of an oligarchy than democracy" because those very few >0.1% of Americans have a greater political say than the rest of us.

Also, we can encourage one another to shift our consumption habits-

If Coke is earning so much money and misbehaving, let's patronize other soda companies!

If Yahoo is doing the same, let's spread out to other mail and search providers!
