True: we are not smart enough to regulate capitalism. We should be, we could be, but we're not. I think this issue is just a litmus test of how you feel about capitalism, market forces, and the role of government.
Aside from the suppression of political speech aspect, which nobody really seems to care about as much.
ETA: Personally I think a capitalist system has legitimate motivation to suppress political speech, also.
