Mankiller Money?

I see a lot of Five and One dollar bills in my future. I will refuse the new specie.

The woman who did the most for the US: Margaret Thatcher.

She worked side-by-side with Reagan to help put an end to Soviet Communism.

>>Why make this costly change to the Ten Dollar bill?<<
1. Like banning the Confederate battle flag, it uses a symbol to cover up a real problem.
2. Create another phony issue to divide people into camps.
3. Increase anger because someone’s choice wasn’t selected.
4. Another excuse to stop teaching history.
5. Because Hamilton is white and he is a man.

The obvious choice to placate those who want to replace Hamilton is a multiracial, LBGT, atheist. Drum roll, please.

Last time I looked I didn’t see anything WRONG with Hamilton on the $10 bill. If its not broke, don’t fix it.

As I see it, yet another MAJOR waste of money to go through this unnecessary change to our currency.

The next thing we hear, odumbo will INSIST, by executive order, that his picture be on all of our money. Now THAT would be a gross waste of money, as has been his presidency.

Fortunately, more voted for Harriet Tubman. Tubman escaped slavery to become a leader of the Underground Railroad, then repeatedly returned to slave territory to help others escape. Tubman would be a good choice. What's more libertarian than helping people escape slavery and resist being governed without their consent?

None of these people reach 10% of the significance of Alexander Hamilton.

This is an attempt to give unearned credit for the sake of aggrieved feelings.

[Kaslin]

How about the British put President Reagan on their currency and take Queen ElizabethII off?

[Kaslin]

I agree completely.

The whole thing is a bunch of bs

[Bulwyf]

I think some folks are reaching their tipping point and are mad as hell and rightfully so. I didn’t see that as rude, I am seeing it as someone who has been pushed and pushed, and doesn’t want to take it anymore.

[2001convSVT]

Yes a whole lot of BS. And with the buying power of the dollar falling we could all use new $500, $1000 or $5000 bills.

[Mike Darancette]

Tubman was a Republican.

[I want the USA back]

UH OH! There is no Black on money! No gay/lezzbo! No trans! No towelhead! No BI! No Native American! No atheist! No witch!

Which one will be next to demand a place on money so that we will have to look at it each time we pay and be reminded of how evil and privileged we are?

[DoodleDawg]

Replacing Andrew Jackson with a Cherokee woman named “Mankiller” would be an ironic choice. But I have no idea why they chose the $10 instead.

[tuffydoodle]

They need to develop a $3 bill and put Bruce Jenner on it.

[tuffydoodle]

I admit it, I laughed.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

I see a quid pro quo in there!

[Dr. Sivana]

She probably lost the next election because of that hat.

Most have her losing because she was a rare vote against going into WWI after the sinking of the Lusitania. She finally got elected in time to be the only Congressman to vote against going to war with Japan after Pearl Harbor. Then she lost again.

[Kaslin]

I don’t doubt it, since most blacks at that time were

[BubbaBasher]

I vote for Paula Jones or Gennifer Flowers.

[Kaslin]

Enough of this bs lets keep it the way it is

[familyop]

"But I have no idea why they chose the $10 instead."

The answer probably lies in the momentary comfort and disease that an ugly slob can buy with a ten-dollar bill.
