just so an elite maintains it's elitism. Darwin was right about evolution... not all creatures evolve die, I guess that can apply to humans as well, because this path is destructive to a republic.

5. I don't agree it is so simple |

Free speech doesn't necessarily mean equal speech.

6. bribing doesn't equal Free Speech... your premise is way off |
|
money=free speech is garbage, and so is corporate personhood. One person, one vote... that's democracy. As for freedom of speech, you are most welcome to yell at the top of your lungs abd tell this government what you think... no one stopping you.

7. The OP didn't talk about corps |
|
Just "those with more ." My point was just that I would feel like my free speech was curtailed if I couldn't use whatever money I have earned to broadcast my views.
