so that the founders, I think including Eric, have two thirds of the VOTING shares, so, they can focus like a laser beam on what is best for Google long term and now worry about short term stock prices. If you spend all your effort on keeping short term stock prices as high as possible you do not have time to run the company, and also end up doing things that are bad for the long term viability of the company.
