Letting corporations in on political campaigns is just fine.
Lately there has been lots of hulabaloo about corporations "choosing" who is president. I think that it's just capitalism on a bigger scale.
Everyone gets a vote, right? The heads of big businesses are people, so they should get a vote. Just because they have more power and more people listen to them just means more power to them.
Smaller scale:
Compare Ted and Barney.
Ted is an average guy who makes a decent living as an architect, and he wants to support his candidate by putting a sign in his front yard and a bumper sticker on his car. Barney, however, is way up in the corporate scale and has a six figure salary. He decides to cover his car in a life sized sticker of his favorite candidate and to flood his yard with talking signs supporting his candidate.
Many people do both of these things, so it's no different than Leaderofcompany X deciding to put the face of his favorite candidate on his product.
