No, my point is that people are a mixed bag, with varying expertise. The business owner is obviously the most likely person to be able to make an informed decision about his or her business. This is not an anti democratic observation - it's a pragmatic one. Matters of the state tend to be far more public than private business dealings, so as adults of voting age it's our responsibility to inform ourselves as best we can, and no, it isn't perfect, but it's what we got and it seems to be working okay so far.

Following your argumentations it seems best if someone in charge makes all the decisions without the majority having any saying. That cannot be what you want.

If you work for a business owned by the state, what saying power do you have? If your manager is elected by your peers, or people in general, who do you talk to when issues come up? If you work for a private business owner, you're far more likely to have a direct line of contact to someone who we can assume cares about their own business, and therefor is more likely to care about issues in the workplace. What I'm advocating is in FAVOR of having a say

As far as having a final say is concerned, this is so obviously true and non-controversial. In fact, this is the basis of all legal rights: The assumption of innocence until proven guilty by a court of law. A judge should be the one in charge making the final decision without the majority having a say. That's the difference between our legal system and the times of the witch trials. You can't have democracy everywhere, you can't leave everything to a vote. Someone has to make the call sometimes, and it's not an inherent moral wrong to do so.
