Money = Speech?

It’s not a mathematical identity.

The Supreme Court stretched logic to reach

The conclusion that money is speech

Isn’t it funny

That speech is not money?

If we paid them with talk they would screech.

You pay sales tax and sales commission when you by a car or a house.

You can now buy your own politician

Thanks to their latest decision.

The Court had a chance

To bring the budget in balance

By imposing a stiff sales commission.

Or do they have a different agenda in mind?

Is the Court really doing their best

To solve the campaign financing mess?

With the most recent suit

They’ve taken the route

Of trying to privatize Congress.
