re: #1025 spool32

No, I meant exactly what I said. Shareholders own the corporation. The only reason a corporation wouldn’t put its political donations directly on a ballot is that the shareholders haven’t demanded it do so. Corporations are owned by their shareholders, just as this red herring is owned by those who wish to answer my question by speculating about Chinese tea futures.

I will allow you to gracefully end your display of ignorance about corporate governance by accepting your insertion of the word “directly” into your prior remarks. Because I gotta tell you, I have never seen such a shareholder vote ever, and I see a lot of that stuff.

As for the Jeffersonian ideal of corporate democracy you speak of, either you are posturing, or you really don’t understand that the topic is way more complicated than you let on.
