Corporations don't give money away unless they are going to get something in
return. If they buy something they receive goods or services AND they
reduce their tax liability. Why would they make large political
contributions unless they expected a good return on their investment? These
are business people, they have a board of directors and stock holders to
answer to.
They caught a few with their hands in the cookie jar, but most are smart
enough to hire lawyers that are smarter than they are. That and they exempt
themselves from the laws they impose on the rest of the country......
