Once again, should a Tide TV commercial be taxed?

Is that tide commercial political speech? Or is it commerce regulatable under the Article I Section 8 of the constitution.

As freedom of speech regards exercise of religion and political speech. If the Tide commercial is clearly either then obviously the donations for it should not be taxed regardless of coming from individual or assemblage of individuals.

Hmm, is Tide being taxed on the funds paid for that commercial?

Funny, the First Amendment does not differentiate between political and non-political speech. So now you are the arbiter of what is First Amendment Speech and what is not? Hmmm - guess you're not the First Amendment absolutist you claim to be. Have a nice day.
