I would pay an extra $0.05/gal if it forced the next person using the pump to listen to marketing from the political party of my preference. $0.10 if it couldn't be muted.

Yes, I too wish to live in a society in which the rich can leverage their wealth to force others to listen to their propaganda.

I feel the same way, only not about politics, but aesthetics. I would gladly pay extra at the pump to force people to listen to snatches of noise music, like the Boredoms or Merzbow; or mini documentaries extolling the virtues of Dadaism or Brutalism.

You are asking why people pay for advertising?
