| richardhutnik said: In a corporation, the holders of stock have no say in how the company is run. They are silent investors, who merely are involved in the electing of officers, if that. Because they don't have a say in how a company is run, they are sheltered from personal liability. This is different than other associations type arrangements. In regards to corporate personhood, this has a long history, and involves things the founding fathers never intended. Wikipedia goes into details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood |
No... if you own stock you do have a say in how the company is run.

Additionally... your link doesn't say anything of the kind... it argues that Gore thinks letting them vote would cause monopolies which jefferson wanted to prevent, but never put any anti-monopoly legislature in the Constiution.
Which is a dumb arugement considering we don't have monopolies anymore really. (Outside of the government.)
Aside from which Jefferson =/= founding fathers. There is a reason they had to rewrite mass amounts of things he wrote.
