There's a rumbling, rolling, rising rebellion against corporations having free speech. Citing the Citizens United ruling, some would literally rip free speech away from corporations, churches, and other entities.
Money does buy. Money is favor and power and influence. It gives the upper hand to the upper class. No, I do not deny those things.
On Facebook, someone notes that if one person had a bullhorn and was standing on a soapbox saying "A," and another person was standing on the ground next to him saying "B," it really wouldn't be fair.
So, should one person walk over to the person with the bullhorn and shoot him dead? That would shut him up. As he stands over the dead body, he can say, "Hey, you had no right to talk ove me like that."
That is just the type of solution some are seeking. They would take freedom away from some, They would take freedom of speech away from some. They argue that corporations are not people, people are people, and therefore corporations have no rights at all.
They would literally kill the other person's rights. That's pretty much the same attitude as killing the person who has a bullhorn.
