Wes, I have to agree with Razor on this. Investors are NOT freeloaders. Without them, companies cannot expand or invest in new technologies (well, not very fast). It all depends on the profit margins. Companies do not allow investors or stockholders in just so they will have one more place to spend profits. That's a dumb concept (one btw, many share).

Stockholders are investors. Investors provide risk capital for the company to expand with. As the company grows, so does your investment (401k, profit sharing, etc.) grow. Your having a dim view of stockholders will not negatively effect the company you work for, unless of course, you are high up in the command chain.
