But I bet most stock holders can’t vote because their “stocks” are actually held via a mutual fund or some retirement system. Another way our rightful say is circumvented by the system. If all of us could actually vote the stock shares we own via retirement and investment vehicles businesses might actually shy away from these tactics.
