So money isn't free speech then is it? The right to free speech doesn't cost a dime, the ability to be heard though, that costs a pretty penny but as you now admit, there is no right to be heard.
Therefor money doesn't equal free speech. I'm glad you finally came around
Nobody said that money equals free speech, another strawman. It is, however, inextricably intertwined. Dissemination of speech may or may not cost money, and it's up to each person if they want to spend their money to do so. Preventing them from doing that is effectively taking away their free speech.
Also, for the umpteenth time, nobody (certainly not me) has argued that anyone has the right to be heard. Another strawman.
