It seems like sufficiently clever lawyering ought to be able to prevent this, by tying the voting power to the entity that has the right to obtain the benefits of the stock price going up. At the very least this prevents the LLC hack.

Nice to see someone thinking past the obvious loopholes. Our rules are a little more complicated than this, but you’re on the right track.

If I own shares in a holding company, which owns shares in an LTSE-company, don’t I have this right? If not me, who else?

That's the point. And as a new investor, your power would be less than that of the holding company.

In this case, I would have voting power for each of the thousands of companies in my pension plan.
