"Some might scoff at such a notion, since no major corporation has ever been elected to Congress, let alone the highest office in the land. But this is America-where corporations are considered people and any retail conglomerate can grow up to be President."

It won't be that far off. It's happening at an beneath the surface level anyways, so why not be more open I say!
Though there are some who (oddly enough) find this sort of thing, well, fucked up. You don't say.
