Correct.So, then, a TV commercial for Tide should not be taxed then, either, since that is free speech as well.
What do you not understand about:
What do YOU NOT UNDERSTAND about tax breaks for chartiable organizations? And that such breaks can be revoked if the organization engages in non-charitable activites, such as commerce or political activity. There is no First Amendment right to be tax-exempt.

It's not political discourse. It's commerce. The Constitution does grant the federal govt the power to regulate interstate commerce. Apples and oranges.
