What evidence is there that corporations speak for either employees or shareholders? None . A "share" is simply a financial instrument not a political position.
Never said there was.
I said:
I would argue that as both the A.A.R.P and the N.R.A take political positions which benefit their members, so also do corporations take political positions which benefit their members.
By which I meant:
Corporations in most cases probably take political positions which benefit their members financially.
Groups like the A.A.R.P and the N.R.A in most cases probably take political positions which benefit their members socially (and perhaps to some extent financially, as in Social Security, Medicare (sp?), etc.).
Additionally, corporations DO speak for their employees and/or shareholders when they take political positions. Their employees and/or shareholders just don’t pay as much attention.
