It's one share, one vote. And you have a choice: You can ask the company to pay you (ie. apply for a job there), or you can pay for a share in the company. Either way, the decisions are made by those who pay. And that can include you — anyone and everyone has the right to start a company and to employ others, anyone and everyone has the right to ask for shares in the company as part of negotiating compensation. I employed a painter a few months ago, and I decided what colour the kitchen now is. | ||

> It's one share, one vote. This is just wrong. As kmeisthax mentioned, shares can have different voting weights - if any at all. Many shareholders have no voting power. > I employed a painter a few months ago, and I decided what colour the kitchen now is. Did you actually employ them, or did you buy a specific service? | ||
