In lots of ways, stock isn’t far different from cash. It’s arguably as cheap to get in and out of stock as it is to exchange cash for things, what with the 3%-ish charges often made on purchases.

An employee is more affected by what happens with a company, and has more power over what happens with a company than a stockholder.

This seems especially true, given that “stockholder” may mean funds that represent aggregates of many, many actual persons.

Too, one would expect an owner to get the biggest cut of corporate profits. So who gets the biggest cut? Roughly speaking, vendors, employees, governments and shareholders, in that order, right?
