    Wait, doesn’t your argument support their bill?

    They’re agreeing with you; they are suggesting that convincing people of what to do with their money is infringing on their “speech.”

      My argument is that republicans are never consistent with their policies.

      Spending isn’t free speech. The government cannot compell speech. This doesn’t not mean that the government can compell spending (I mean, it sorta can with taxes and fines, but it can’t compell spending to select businesses, markets or groups.)

      Is it saying it’s illegal to “convince”(therefore not the consumer) or it’s illegal to “participate” (meaning the consumer)
