It sure seems like it. I have wondered what would happen if the supreme court would have not ruled that the giving of money is an expression of free speech. Would lobbyist then have to convince with words instead of monetary gifts. Of course money would still exchange hands except for it then would be known as a bribe like it truly is.

This is what gives us a name, a "Corporate America". (which we are) People no longer have a say in the government, rich CEO's do.
