No, it's not. We are a not a democracy. We're a republic that is bounded by laws. Our politicians are not suppose to change laws becuase a majority wants it changed or because some "fat cat CEO" wants it changed. Maybe if someone above would actually read more than a googled search of the constitution and get an understanding of what the founding fathers intended when they wrote it, then they'd see that A) you have a right to spend your money how you want and giving money to a candidate is political free speech B) treating our country as a democracy is the dumbest thing that has ever been brainwashed into the American (and worldwide) public.

THe whole deal is I, you, nor anybody on this planet has a right to tell a private individual what they can and can't do with their money.
