Because money is money and speech is speech. The ramifications of money=speech is that if you have no money, you have no speech. That is anathema to the Constitution.
Um, no. This would only be true if there are no other types of speech. By this same logic, if speaking is speech and you can't speak, then you have no speech.
Money in and of itself is not speech. It is the use of said money as a form of expressing one's views and opinions that makes it speech. It is a tool for providing speech.
