I like the way you think. But most wouldn't agree, they believe a company should have the right to influence government.

Idk, i think this is incorrect. I think the majority oppose unlimited spending by corporations and individuals. 76% by one poll:

The law and the majority don’t agree way more often than one would expect in a democratic society.

Unproven, really. I don't think I'd argue that most people think that the individuals in a company (even its CEO) have the right to influence government. But the question is whether the corporation ("are people too, my friend) itself has this right. I'm not clear that most agree with that.
