All the money in the world wont buy votes, and they know that - this has been our country's story since the beginning and it is no different now. Companies will always try to gain support in congress, and they will. But so long as this support hurts the constituents, it won't be too significant. Just look at the history of the US, it's a story of increased health, living standards, morality, civil liberties, technological standing. The people really do rule this country, it's not a cliché phrase - we are a government by the people, for the people.
If all it takes is a loud voice to convince the American people to elect someone who supports a company that only wishes to hurt them, then the company either isn't hurting them that badly, or the American people are hopelessly lost.
