Why do you believe that?

The reality is that stock holders have no real power tho and that may
be what you meant to say.

For those that never finished elementary school: Stockholders elect the
board of directors.

ever get a proxy letter in the mail? hell, i'm a stockholder. of
course, i have about 0.0000000000000000000001% controlling interest in
any company...


Boards of directors elect officers. Officers hire
management. If it weren't for the stockholders, they would be no company,
and nowhere for the unskilled to make a wage. Let's punish stockholders!!!

yep you bet!! with capital gains at 15% they pay about half of what
hard working americans pay
