And the best part is that the shareholders get to vote on the proposals. A number of votes are required in order to pass the resolution so it isn't as simple as a majority wins.

You may not like it, but there you are. Be a stockholder. Even one share gives you one vote as to the direction of the company. OneShare.com has a listing of stocks you can purchase Exxon-Mobile for $168 and it comes in a nice frame.

But you're really getting very far far away from a minimum wage discussion...
