Few companies have 'political power' over staff. Most, even the big one's have surprisingly little influence over governance, even when big cheques are written. And almost exclusively, that money goes into getting 'good legislation for them to make money' - not some kind of moral/social issue. Yes, a few companies are known to direct funds for 'socially contestable things' but it's not entirely common.
