I generally appreciate where you’re going with that, but if money is not speech why limit just organisations from contributing? Why not limit all support to vocalisations?

I wouldn’t prohibit just organizations from contributing, I would prohibit individuals as well who are not eligible to be full participants in our democracy, AND I would limit the amount those who are could contribute. It isn’t limiting speech, it is leveling access, to ensure that no citizen has more political sway than any other.

This ☝️ well argued and filled with great stuff that never occurred to me. Thanks for your feedback.

Rational solution. Reduce the size and scope of government such that more access doesn’t buy anything.

Even so they need to follow disclosure rules ...don’t you think?

Most certainly.

I think that’s simple alright and simply wrong about a complex subject.

It’s complex as it is, and should be much simpler to the benefit of everyone but the tax-eaters.

You mean like the rich billionaires who pay no taxes I suppose 😊

You’re making my point. Without a powerful government what influence would a billionaire wield?

Government by it’s very nature and purpose needs to be powerful.

There were just a few who disagreed with you. They created the USA.

They don’t disagree either.

Riiiiiight.

Okay, we're done.
There's no way you can support that statement.

I think they should at least follow the disclosure rules.

I’m not familiar with the rules, so I don’t know. That’s part of the thing too. I haven’t really put much research into this issue, so I can’t really speak to it.

Basically all people and organizations are obligated to disclose honestly who they are.
