Corporate money isn't pushing any specific set of policies, different companies want different policies. It does contribute some to crony capitalism, but the main contributor is government interfering in the markets in the first place. If you have extensive regulation, restraint of trade, subsidies, bailouts etc. Then the people affected are going to try to direct that effect, to protect themselves, help themselves, or harm their competitors, etc. Refuse to subsidize, bailout, and generally interfere, and the real problem is directly dealt with while your, to an extent imagined, problem of corporate money is also reduced.
