That's not good enough. In this era of hypercommunication we should know what steps they're going to take. You're just voting for change. Are you some kind of obama bot?

If you're not familiar with ALEC, then I strongly urge you to do some research on it ASAP...because they are one of the main reasons for a tax code that provides surge loop holes and advantages for corporations to avoid paying revenue taxes on such a grand scale.
And please provide the paragraph (s) from the article I linked that states or eludes to "It claims you can't lower taxes on a corporation and get more money", because I sure don't see that.

Nice try Wack, but you didn't answer my question......Are ALL shareholders privy to ALL decisions made by the Board? Do ALL shareholders vote on all decisions?
I cannot believe that you or other shareholders in JP Morgan or S&L or ENRON voted for the heinous actions and policies that resulted in the hurt caused to many Americans and the country's very economic existence! If you did, then shame upon you and your fellow "owners".
If not, then my previous statement stands.

So what I stated is true, you are NOT an "owner" of the company, because an owner decides what his/her company does....PERIOD! You just own stock.

Shareholders elect board members. As a shareholder you don't get to vote on every decision the Board makes just as the Board doesn't get to vote on every decision the CEO makes although it selects the CEO.
People in Enron broke the law. I'm not smart enough to understand how you can prevent someone from breaking the law if that's what they are going to do. What we can do is catch them after the fact and prosecute them for it. In Enron's case these lawbreakers cost a lot of people a lot of money. That's why they were rightfully punished.

You are talking about two different things. I can own a restaurant. I'm the boss I call the shots I report to no one (unless I have investors). The CEO of a publicly traded corporation doesn't own the company. The shareholders do. Yet the CEO is the one who makes decisions that determine the direction the company is going in.

And here we have an example of a not-too-bright neocon/teabagger troll who is long on insults, mantras and headlines but short on facts.
First off, not that I said reaganomics "devastated" the economy......big difference from "destroyed". Our bogus "truth detector" should learn to read comprehensively.
Secondly, I find it amazing how the bogus "truth detector" uses the tired mantra of "democrats only" fault of our deficit, when Bush (aka the Shrub) put 2 wars on credit, a prescription drug bill without negotiation on price....I could go on, but let's get real as to what "reaganomics" really did to this country:

I will further discuss the issue with "Truth Detector" if he has the intellectual honesty and courage to actually read and discuss the article link. If not, then I will ignore his propaganda laden rhetoric.

PUBLIC UTILITIES as opposed to PRIVATE COMPANIES, you jackass.....a whole different set of rules and regulations.
What a post!!!...???????????????????/....So...you really ARE that stupid.....All shareholders vote on Board members (and others matters).... to oversee the company and hire
a CEO to run the daily operations of the business.....as a shareholder you own a piece of the company depending on what percent of the outstanding shares you own.
Are you really that stupid.....?
I've bever read Drudge dimwit. Thinking is not your forte; being a brain dead leftist hypocrite is.
Yes, you really are THAT stupid.

We elect people to make those decisions for us because it is inconvenient for all shareholders to appear every business day in a huge arena to participate in voting.
By law we get extensive annual reports on all decisions made.
Yes, Liberals really are THAT stupid.
Kettle, meet thy pot.
This coming from a repugnant leftist who calls everyone who disagrees with him idiots and neocon teabagger trolls.
Yes, you really are THAT stupid.
You think there is a big difference between devastated and destroyed? REALLY?
From the dictionary:
devastate (ˈdɛvəˌsteɪt) — vb
1. to lay waste or make desolate; ravage; destroy
2. to confound or overwhelm, as with grief or shock
Yes, you really are THAT stupid.
Where did I claim this? Another lie from a prolific leftist liar and dimwit.
Wars are never fought with surpluses dimwit. Please find me a war that was not fought by deficit spending.
But alas, you are an incredibly uninformed repugnant leftist dimwit who fabricates your own version of reality while wallowing in blatant hypocrisy.
Yes, you really are THAT stupid and THAT repugnant.
If you are talking about the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act, that was passed during the Bush administration you dimwit.
Yes, you really are THAT incredibly stupid.
Yes you could; and they would be proven as lies, distortions and in your case, just plain stupid as illustrated above.
You whining about intellectual honesty is about as comedic as your effeminate whine about insults. You're truly an idiot of epic proportions.
I read the article; and it holds a lot of truth. How does this article support your inane claims that Reaganomics devastated the economy?
Let me help you comprehend what it is you are reading:
Average deficit during Reagan’s Presidency: $165.688 billion
Increase in debt during Reagan’s Presidency $1.859 Trillion.
Revenues increased by 65.3% during Reagan’s Presidency from $599.272 billion to $991.105 billion.
Unemployment when Reagan entered office was 8.5% and by the end of his Presidency it was down to 5.4%
Marginal top Tax rates when Reagan came into office were at 70% and by the time he left office they were at 31%.
During Reagans Presidency 2.6 million Americans were added to the labor pool.
Those are all facts. Now you can rant stupid about what happened during Reagan’s Presidency all you want, but the facts hardly support your asinine contention that Reaganomics devastated the economy. You can, however, correctly make that claim about Democrats and Obama.
I am quite certain that millions of Americans would trade the Reagan years for the Obama years; what do you think? Oh that’s right, you don’t think; you parrot moronic DNC talking points like a trained little circus monkey because, alas, you really are THAT stupid.
Another incredibly stupid claim from the forum dullard.
Where is it written that one cannot "own" interest in a company if one does not "direct" the day to day operations? A CEO is merely a manager dimwit. The shareholders are the "owners" with "ownership interest" in the form of stocks. They, and only they, elect board members who establish corporate policy and hire the CEO, a MANAGER, which runs the company on behalf of the "owners" and at the pleasure of the BOARD which is ELECTED by the OWNERS of STOCK.
By the way dimwit; does it occur to you that millions of small businesses are run by managers and NOT their owners?
Nah; you don't think. You're a dimwit who parrots asinine leftist talking points like a trained little circus monkey in a vacuum of reality or the facts.
Yes, you really are THAT stupid.
