They could speak, ventriloquate, or fart as much as they want. They might have to start paying taxes, though.

OTOH "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the feedom of speech"

Hobson's choice requiring a choice to be made between speech and taxation is an abridgement of speech; a lien upon an unalienable right by taxing its exercise.

Whether a choice be required of an individual, church or any peaceful assembly of individuals to exercise unalienable rights, for Congress to make a law as a defacto tax on the exercise one's right to speech is forbidden.

Congress shall make no law, is not a maybe, it is an absolute restriction on government as regards the unalieanable rights of all individuals and assemblies to the freedom of political and religious speech.
