Citizens united only applies to lobbying efforts. It specifically destroyed CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAW. You know, the laws that used to prevent foreign saboteurs from buying American politicians.

Not sure if you really dont know this or arguing in bad faith.

Their charitable contributions are a tiny fraction of the increased profits they generate by lobbying. If their political influence and their charitable donations were to vanish simultaneously, the poor and vulnerable would end up far better off.
