Do you think Andrew Jackson should be removed from the 20 dollar bill

[Lenape85]

I think so, what he did to the Indians was just horrible.

[merwin]

1. I heard bad things about George Washington, as well

as another GW (who will no doubt be placed on the 3 dollar bill)

[Nevernose]

4. That's Clinton, remember?

Don't ask, don't tell?

Besides, everyone already knows that Bill's wife is a homocidal lesbian. DOn't you read World Net Daily? :)

[Zomby Woof]

2. Might as well remove all of them then

All of the dead white guys on our money were complicit to a large degree to how the Native Americans were treated. Even the otherwise enlightened Benjamin Franklin was not a big champion of the human rights of Native Americans.

Ever read Jefferson's hateful bile in the Declaration of Independence? Or learn what Lincoln advocated? Jackson was hardly an anomaly.

That being said, fuck it. It's just money, and does it really matter who is on it when it spends the same?

[elperromagico]

3. You could scratch out "Jackson" and write "Kerry."

The resemblance is rather striking.

But I didn't tell you to do that. Defacing money is a crime, damn it.

5. I'd be afraid to see his replacement.

[fnottr]

6. Totally

The only contender I've seen floating around for the 20 is Raygun

[Lenape85]

7. I'd love to see F. Roosevelt on it

And yes, every prez has committed some type of atrocity. But, Jackson HAD TRIED TO WIPE OUT THE ENTIRE NATIVE AMERICAN POPULATION. No president can compare to that.

[NYC]

8. You know FDR wouldn't get on the $20 bill.

It would likelier be George W. Bush or Reagan. At that rate, I'd rather have the killer from the past on the money.

[Elidor]

11. Yeah, FDR only interned the Japanese-Americans

That doesn't even rate a mention in this day and age.

[Lenape85]

12. I believe that was one of the few really bad things he did

At least it wasn't intended for GENOCIDE

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Still, a good president

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. I think Teddy Roosevelt deserves to be on money

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. I don't know that his contributions outweighed

his mistreatment of the Native Americans.

In addition to FDR, I'd like to see Teddy Roosevelt on US currency.
But please, please...not Ray gun!

[madinmaryland]

14. Reagan is going to be on all of our cash

thats what oxyru$h said

[CarpeVeritas]

15. if Raygun ever appears on paper currency-

I'll burn his likeness completely away(but i'd leave the numbers intact- i'm not stupid)

if he comes out on a coin- I'll be making good theraputic use of my drill press.
