There are many reasons Why You Should Buy Local. Your dollar is your voice, your vote, and your approving that you are standing by a product or a company-
Whether or not you think that hard into your purchase; it is what it is. When corporations like Wal-Mart hold the most money, they become a voice for it. They then get to make the decisions- That are good for them to keep and make more money... These decisions may not be best for their consumers, their employees, and even our Country; but they get the ultimate voice in the situation.
