Even worse those with money can not only purchase speech they can also purchase the process.  Take for example our State Legislature where you can purchase all the expediting or delay of legislation you can afford.  I will never forget this quote from the committee minutes when Chair Bob Lynn justified his refusal to hear a bill that had passed the Senate by a vote of 16 to 4:

 "Regarding the business community, he stated that it seems somebody had hired a lobbyist to oppose SB6.  He questioned why the business community would spend “something like $10,000 to oppose SB6 unless it was “pretty important to them”.  He added, “it’s even on [television] (TV) now”. 

The highest bidder wins in the world of Bob Lynn.   And then Chair Lynn sat on the bill for an entire year until it died without sufficient time for a final hearing before House Finance.
