The 1% might have 80% of the nation's wealth tied up but the middle class and the poor have all the purchasing power.
So long as they're intent on saving a buck whatever the cost, corporations will pander to them just as hard as they possibly can. No matter the human toll.

Walmart could go bankrupt in a year if everyone just started shopping at Target. But nobody does because it's not their problem.
