If you are going to use taxpayer money to facilitate political campaigns, could you legally or morally exclude any party or candidate from getting taxpayer money? And if you give taxpayer money equally to all parties and all candidates, can you legally or morally compel any tax payer to give financial support to a party or candidate that is anathema to the taxpayer?

And just how does money contribute to the partisan nature of American politics? How does money enable a Democrat to call conservatives/Republicans Nazis or allow a Republican to call liberals/Democrats un-American?

No, I would discriminate against them and they would not get squat.

We already give taxpayer money to political parties and canidates. It is not a question of morality. If you do not understand how money contributes to the partisan nature of American politics I would suggest some basic civics and political science lessons at your local college.
