Money Talks: The Erosion of the First Amendment
Money talks today stronger than ever. The influence of money upon free speech is causing the erosion of the First Amendment more quickly than ever.
Money is buying the opinions of the public through advertising, the votes of the political arena through lobbying and directs the masses through commercials on television. Most of us think what we do politically, socially and economically because of the influence money has over us as a citizen. This is true in America and in the rest of the world as well.
The fact is that money talks and those without money have no voice at all. What we buy, where we work, what we drive, where we live, what we learn, who we know and why we choose the life we live are all directly influenced by how much money we have. Money even tells us, In God We Trust. Money talks for us louder than we often speak for ourselves.
It is important to consider what money says about us and how money talks to the world we live in today. Because how money talks for us as a nation is causing the erosion of our basic freedoms. Let your voice be heard.
