Money as Speech Concept

This image offers a biting visual commentary on the controversial "money as speech" legal doctrine. At its center is a hundred-dollar bill, but with a humorous twist: the familiar face of Benjamin Franklin has been swapped out for a clearly unhappy, scowling visage, often associated with former President Donald Trump. The text "Money as Speech" appears above the currency, while the powerful declaration "Silences all but the RICH" is positioned beneath it. It cleverly illustrates the argument that vast financial contributions in politics, treated as a form of protected expression, effectively grant disproportionate influence to the wealthy, stifling the voices of everyone else in the public discourse.
