Unlimited corporate spending in politics?
This like saying, "If you don't like the king making the rules why are you in a monarchy, hmmmm?"
> Why precisely is it that we feel like we do not?
Because we don’t, our representatives work for companies like Meta, not ordinary people.
Would you agree that public/consumer sentiment towards corporate behavior can change that behavior?
Partially because organizations like Facebook spend heavily to ensure they're not taxed fairly.

Don't worry, my anger is limitless and I can direct it at both corporations and corporations at the same time.
I expect everyone to behave nicely even in the absence of laws. The reason that I am not killing people left and right is not because it is illegal to so but because it is immoral. The law is a last resort to disincentivize certain behaviors or hold you responsible after the fact, it is not what should exclusively guide anyone's behavior.
