The problem with Citizens United wasn't someone being loud via money. It was someone funding 400,000 other Loud voices via untraceable money.

A rich person spending their money to speak is speech, I'd prefer federal funded elections, but that money is speech. But A person being able to form 100 corporations and thus get 101 loud voices to our private 1 is the concept of the problem. Money shouldn't be able to multiply your votes.

Sorta similar to how the GWBush admin did Iraq War leaks. They'd leak it, then go on TV and say, "We're hearing that as well" faking that there were multiple sources instead of it being just themselves.
