I dont understand. Since when did welfare liberals and commies have more $ and influence than real Americans? I've always supported the open market and capitalism but why are corporations always pushing liberal agenda. What happened to our wealth and influence in this country?

Because corporations are not free market entities. They are a separate legal concept created and enforced by the state that affords directors and share holders limited liability for decisions made on behalf of the business. This essentially socializes the costs of unethical decision making as you won't face personal consequences (except in rare cases like trading insolvent, although in many countries governments have stopped enforcing this due to COVID).
Busineses are profit driven. They have an obligation to their sharehilders to make decisions that net them the most profit. As the government grows in size and power it becomes more profitable for a corporation to invest in political power rather than investing in their own product and service. Therefore they start taking on the communist and socialist rot that are experts in manipulating politics. Over time all this creates a symbiotic relationship between corporations and the state. Example: why invest in making a better product when you can invest in lobbying the state to stop others from competing with you?
Furthermore, new generations of workers are being processed through a public education system (including universities) with ever increasing levels of marxist indoctrination. These people end up working for said corporations and adding to the rot.
TL;DR No personal consequences for their actions. More profitable to invest in political power. Marxist indoctrination in the education system.
