To elaborate, that would be a mis-use of corporate funds.
If the corporation is pubicly traded, you used stockholder money and misapppriated it for your political agenda.
If the corporation is closely held by an individual (or family), then they can dig into their own pockets.
Using corporate funds for personal use is illegal and the IRS can punish that as tax evasion. As a corporate owner myself, I know you have to make sure not to use corporate resources for personal use.
Because some people are better speakers, that means we shouldn't be bothered that corporations with vested interests can buy politicians and flood the TV with their ads?
Your logic is twisted.
So let's have term limits.
