You seem to be asserting that anyone who owns any stock is completely aligned with the interests of the respective corporation, regardless of proportionality.

To wit, If I own (say) $5k of Amazon stock as the result of being invested in a mutual fund, that is not sufficient cause for me to take time out of my day to call my representatives and actively lobby for Amazon.

Never mind that owning stock via pension funds etc gives one little say in corporate operations.
