And if you invested in those index funds in the past 15 years, the return would be superb.

Banning these super-voting companies from 401(k) and index funds would have deprived many low- and middle-income people of those superb returns.

But hey less competition for the houses and stuff, right? We don't want more average people to enter the upper middle class.
