Paid more doesn't mean you speak more; a corporation can't speak without a human™

The rebuttal to money-as-speech, in his words. Being paid more doesn't buy you more voice (that's the whole Citizens-United inversion this house rejects; money never votes here). And here's the part with teeth: a corporation can't speak at all without a human. It has no mouth, no breath, no body (the Invulnerability Test; it never bled once); every word it “says” is borrowed from a person it hired to move its lips. So the speech was always human speech, rented; and the score was never money's to buy, because only humans can score. That's the fear behind the whole fight: strip the wallet away and the ledger has nothing to say for itself; the voice was on loan, and the human can hand it back. Pay all you want; the mouth still isn't yours. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
