"corporate" should include unions and all non-profits...basically, only individual contributions are allowed
However - this then becomes a type of "taxation without representation", since these "non-person" entities pay taxes and are subject to laws but will be prevented from "voicing their opinion". Maybe that means we eliminate the corporate tax and replace it with a consumption tax. We could also replace the corporate employment tax with an individual based tax, assuming the corporate savings are transferred to the individual. I know, it's not an easy thing to figure out, but I believe we could find a way to circle that square.
Don't forget that corporations are owned by human stockholders. Nothing prevents them from contacting their elected representatives. The corruption (and abuse of individual stockholders) begins when corporations like CocaCola jump on to trending social movements and become lobbyists.
There are many ways to reduce corruption in the stock market, but as long as our representatives in DC are profiting from it, it will never happen. That's like waiting for the day that they vote for term limits.
