All the owners of a company (ie shareholders) have are a vote as well. They might not use it, they might not win.

Few major companies have a singular owner who can act as dictator.

Also, in the USA, idealistically citizens do not require permission to do whatever they want. All rights are given to the states & people; the federal government is specifically given delimited authority that it can manage.

you cannot really compare a citizen to a shareholder (if you cannot sell it, you dont own it)

    1- not all shareholders have votes 
    2- as a shareholder your vote is proportional to your owner ship
    3- you can sell your shares, you cannot sell your rights of citizenship .. to another immigrants for example

they are not the same .. they are just not .. maybe on the surface from far far away they look the same .. to you

maybe as a citizen it feels good to think you own your country, but you dont .. really you dont
