That can vary significantly by corporation and type of stock. One corporation comes to mind where Class A has 0.209 votes per share and Class B has 15 votes per share.


Tis true, but you call always attempt to acquire B shares vs an A share, or buy 75 A shares.

Your money still talks. Ask Disney's CEO.

Perhaps you neglected the changes made in Corporate America during the 1980's concerning apartheid.

Perhaps you neglected the changes made in Corporate America during the 1990's concerning benefits for homosexual partners of employees.

This is true, if you invest in EXXON you will receive money back in dividends. When was the last time a city has given back money to anyone without kicking a screaming.

Muni's should have worked like any commercial business would, by working with the local competition rather than step all over their toes. Unfortunately, rather than fight back, it seems that special interest ran home, crying to mommy (US government) over what the big, bad, Muni's did to their precious customer base.

Both sides could have won over this one, but instead we're right back where we started.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9768468 Wed, 24 Mar 2004 13:03:39 EDT Re: SIGs, (Special Interest Groups) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9768440 morbo :

It's quite a blow to the consumer. I think it's unfair that service has been restricted to big business. It's so funny that in a country supposedly founded on democratic principles, the people seldom ever get what they want. It seems counter-intuitive that at every turn, what we get is exactly the opposite of what we collectively chose. Making our voice heard in this country is like ordering at McDonalds.
"I'll have one order of low-cost municipal broadband please."
"$59.95 broadband coming right up sir."
"No, I said low-cost broadband."
"Let me get the manager."
"What do I need a manager for? I just want broadband at a low-cost."
"Hi sir, I'm the manager here. I've been informed that you wanted our broadband package for $79.95."
"What? The other person said it was $59.95, that was too expensive anyway, what about the municipal broadband option?"
"I'm sorry sir. $110.95 broadband is the only package we have."]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9768180 Wed, 24 Mar 2004 12:28:28 EDT Re: SIGs, (Special Interest Groups) http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9768070 RipRap :
