i have felt the same many times... i think the "bug in the program" is: donation doesnt give you a vote/ownership.

i sort of feel like an interesting experiment might be an idea where donating above a certain amount (say 5 dollars) should give someone "a years ownership" and a vote in major policy decisions for that year, sort of like a consumer cooperative

also, in that model, a company couldnt just buy more shares and get more votes (like a stock)... that might be a better model... maybe
