You might want to check the Conservative Playbook, and research the 2010 United States Supreme Court decision, Citizens United. This conservative backed decision altered campaign finance laws by limiting how the government can justify laws restricting First Amendment rights in the form of campaign decisions.
Basically, it opened the door to unlimited donations, claiming among other things that corporations are people. It opened the political contribution floodgate, allowing the wealthiest individuals to have a greater ability to influence parties and candidates in their direction. Conservatives best not bite the hand that feeds them. This was a one percent victory.
