And you seem to forget that this notion of corporate personhood was not the norm, nor backed by the Supreme Court, until relatively recently. Yet even then it was the case that the corporate and wealthy could buy elections. It is also the case that campaign finance laws were weak and ineffective. Thus, what you are talking about would simply return us to those days, and while that might work as a short term solution, soon the wheels would be grinding, and those laws would be eliminated and done away with.

You've got to take Corporate money out of our government, and this is the only certain way to do so for the long term.
