So, you would stop the owner of a company from firing employees?

The owner(s) of a public company are the shareholders. Unfortunately, many of the true owners - the people who's money is invested and at risk, don't get to vote!.

A great many shares are owned through mutual funds and pension funds - and all they care about is the next quarter's earnings.

By all means, let the owners start making decisions - instead of the high-flying CEO's who claim to act in their name while robbing the actual owners blind.

That's a great idea to create jobs in America. Make all hiring decisions thru the vote. How long would that take? It would create lots of jobs in the paper industry!!
