Rich individuals, like Soro's can hide behind organizations in an attempt to effect national elections, seems fitting that private corps can do the same thing. Not that I agree with it but they are one in the same to me in their ability to influence elections with millions of dollars.

Why single out Soros?

Why not include people like the Koch brothers who have poured more than $100 million into astroturf organizations to fight health care reform, clean energy legislation, etc...not to mention funding many Tea Party activities:

Again, it seems like your view is anti-libertarian, questioning the right of people to "participate" in the process with their money.
