If money is speech then why don't my dollar bills talk to me? |
|
They just sit there and say nothing. It's worse than a GEICO commercial. They never offer a hint as to what they would like to be spent on.
I've never heard Lincoln's voice coming from a penny. Have you?

8. You must pray to your money to receive the message, that's why we have |
|
"In God We Trust" on our money.
According to the Supreme Court, Money is God and whoever or whatever; has the most money must be holy and therefor, their free speech must take precedence over those people; who believe they've been created equal.
If you can't hear your money, it's only because you don't have enough of it, so you must be one of those unwashed masses.
Just get a lot of money and you will hear it speak, in the halls of Congress, by the Fourth Estate, and in the largest houses of worship. The voice of your money will sound as thunder throughout the land drowning out every other little pip squeak voice that dares to differ.
The only competition to your free speech will come from those people or things having close to or more money than you do and most likely, they will share the same primary values; that Money is God.
Thanks for the thread, moondust.
