People do have a right to speech and they have a right to use money to benefit themselves or others how ever they see fit. The real question is if political speech is some form of special speech that deserves to have money associated with it be tax deductible for the donor and tax exempt by the organization. Pornography is defined as speech. Should all money spent on pornography be deductible and porn companies pay no taxes. Magazines are speech. Rights to speech is important but the first amendment only intends to ensure your speech is not inhibited, not tax deductible.

So you don't see a problem with what amounts to paying a politician for favors?
