If the company raised money by issuing shares, they would dilute their votes and lose company control.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4827152\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is it not true that the government bailout is really about protecting the feudal privileges of this billionaire family?</p>",

Dans le cas de Pierre Beaudoin, son salaire est 10 fois plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que la moyenne de l'industrie. Si l'entreprise amassait des fonds en \u00e9mettant des actions, cela diluerait leurs votes et leur ferait perdre le contr\u00f4le de l'entreprise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4827152\" data-originallang=\"en\">N'est-il pas vrai que l'aide financi\u00e8re du gouvernement servira \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les privil\u00e8ges f\u00e9odaux de cette famille de milliardaires?</p>"
