1. Spending money isn't speech. -Communication- is what they probably meant by 'speech'.

2. Extending 'the right to free speech' to 'the right to free communication' isn't stupid.

3. Extending it to 'the right to spend money on whatever' is stupid and implies that paying for kiddie porn is extending your rights to free speech.

4. Printing material is communication AND spending money.

5. Publishing campaign ads is communication AND spending money.

6. Donating large amounts of money to campaign ads is spending money BUT NOT communication. Its monetarily supporting OTHER PEOPLE communicating by spending money.

7. Regulating spending money is almost always good.

8. Regulating communication is almost always bad.
