I wish that were possible, but corporate ownership and control are so deeply tangled throughout all economic sectors that it's utterly impossible to 'vote with your wallet' 100% of the time. You're lucky to have an option to purchase from someone else, much less a realistic option.
Until we tackle the rats nest of corporate parentage, and the protective 'regulations' that only serve to keep competition out of markets, voting with your dollar in a way that makes any impact at all remains a high-minded dream.
In all, I think we can assign blame to the shift from citizens to consumers. That is to say, sigh, we're all responsible for being negligent.
