If you multiply the "voices" by the number of corporations

You're assuming that all corporations will jump in and play on the same side of every issue. On many issues there may be just a few corporations. If the issue is home phone rates, for example, we're looking at a handful of corporate players. Letting their side have a handful of voices to go against millions and millions of individual phone subscribers wouldnd't alter any outcomes in favor of the phone corporations. I think you're making too much out of that.

There are many more individuals than there are corporations. It's just that the corporations have more money. If you limit the allowed amount of money per corporation to the same amount is the allowed amount per individual, the corporations won't make a dent.
