Yes and this is why the US is a oligarchy not an autocracy (yet)
Corporate political donations and opinions should be outlawed
What is a "corporate political opinion?"

> Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the narrow majority that limits on independent spending from corporations and other outside groups equate to limiting their speech and thus violate the First Amendment.
So basically corporate donation is corporate opinion is protected under the First Amendment
Citizens United was an awful, anti-democratic decision, regardless of which side "your" billionaires are on.
