I would've thought that the difference between "vote" and "vote as a shareholder" would have been obvious enough, but just to make it clear: I don't consider it a good thing if the only people with a say in things are the ones who have money. This is the difference between a democracy and a corporation.

I find it really unsettling how many people on HN seem to need this distinction explained.

Actually if you are a shareholder you DON'T have money...In the sense that you gave it up to have a say in the company.

Similarly you give something up (social contract) to have a say in government

You clearly come from a difference place on this issue so I don't expect you to understand what I'm saying but I'd be pleased if you did.
