Wait, wait a second here.

A corporation makes a political donation. The politician takes an action that a segment of the population doesn't like, and now there's a call for repercussions to the corporation.

Why are you ridiculing this? This is exactly what's supposed to happen. Hopefully other potential corporate donors will think a second before donating on the next go-round.

I'm not ridiculing it in and of itself - I am ridiculing the idea that you can stand up for the "little guy" by bankrupting a business with the resultant loss of jobs for the "little guy" who works there.

Tellers and branch managers don't set corporate policy, but it looks like they're about to be jobless because of the policy.

Does that sound like "looking out for the little guy" to you?
