When did money metamorphosize into speech?

Around the time Gutenberg invented printing with movable type, ca. 1450. Money has always facilitated speech in that the more money one has, the bigger megaphone one can buy.

BTW, Welcome to Earth.

So it's your contention that the more money one has, the more free speech one is entitled to. Do you similarly believe that the way things have been in the past are necessarily correct?

Welcome to the land of Illogic.
