1. The main problem is that the poster's premise, Far Right Republicans receive more corporate donation

Is simply incorrect. Yes, the Republican Party has received more Corporate Donations. But the Democrats, when in power, have received just as much corporate money. The numbers are funny because, quite simply, over the course of the last 25 years the Republicans have held some sort of full control over either congress or the executive branch for all but 2 years.

EDIT: When I say control, I mean holding one of the two branches of congress or the Presidency.
