    money is free speech

    Can someone explain this to me? I assume this is in relation to campaign finance, but what was the actual argument that makes “(spending/accepting/?) money is free speech”?

      Maybe something along the lines of “if you can afford fines you can say whatever you want including but not limited to offence, lies, hate speech, and slander”
