Nope its a BS ruling that was politically motivated. Spending money is not free speech, standing on a corner saying that OSP is a complete douche would be free speech, this is not.

But everybody can pay their way through college. Wether they find it worth spending $100,000+ for a better job is up to them. It's ideal to get a free ride but if you don't then tough cookies. Actually start selling cookies and pay your way. It's what I do.

People (which businesses are made of) have a right to do what they want with their private property/money. It's not fair that big businesses can buy their way into getting a policy they want. But it's also not fair that a bunch of screaming idiot college students or bored middle class white people can scream and threaten a politician to get their policy enacted.

In theory we need to elect leaders who will enforce the constitution/law without outside influence. That way no matter how much money a business gives to a politician or how much screaming some union goons or tea partiers do, the person in power will do the right thing.

But as much as I hate either side I will not deny them the right to do with their money what they please nor will I deny the OWS crowd the right to bitch and moan.
