Are the people that run the corporation people? Do they not have the right to use their property in the way they see fit, to associate with who they desire, and provide services in the way they see fit? Oh right, for some reason they are lesser beings. Funny how that works. I find liberals are entirely missing the point. In order to protect the rights of people businesses can not be the slaves of the population as a whole.
The individuals are individuals and may spend their personal money as they see fit. Public corporations are owned by many people, the shareholders. So saying that a public corp manned by a small board and that board making decisions for political spending is somewhat equivalent to the individual making similar decisions is a bit misleading.
In the end corporations are property and nothing more.
