I thought the more common claim is that spending money just is self-expression, and therefore protected.
Now that sounds like "Money is speech" which is also a fit to WAiTW.
This highlights an ambiguity in what we mean by "Money is not speech". It could mean "Money is a subset of (non-speech)" which is false since Money does talk in some cases.
Or it could mean "It is not the case that money is a subset of speech" which is more debatable, and definitely not WAItW. Expressed as a Venn diagram, Money and Speech may be overlapping circles with neither strictly contained in the other.
The choice of what to spend on, not the act of spending.
