Where is the explicit guarantee? There is none, and I didn't say there was. I said there was an implicit guarantee. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater and say that you are going to harm someone. If there is no fire, its a dangerous form of fraud, one that can lead to nearly immediate death. Expressing your political ideas, or trying to get the government to follow them doesn't resemble yelling fire in a crowded theater, and in addition to its general protection from our free speech rights, its specifically protected in the constitution. Money is not free speech. Free speech is free speech. Limiting money to do anything, in a very broad way, is limiting the ability to do that thing. No, you can fund smaller parties as well but at a lower amount than larger parties Then 1 - Your discriminating in favor of the larger parties, and 2 - You still have to have tax dollars go towards nazi parties or other offensive groups. Your chicken statement is loopy and irrelevant. Its relevant because its loopy. Deliberately so. You have to show why some policy will have the desired effect, to show why its more effective than sacrificing chickens.
