Good. Don`t want it and don`t need it. Does that mean Harriet Tubman isn`t worthy of admiration? No. But we all no the purpose of putting a figure so strongly identified with the era of slavery on the 20 dollar bill - keeping the wound open.

We also no the left wants to denigrate the importance of our founding fathers and other white men who played a key role in the Republic`s early years. They deservea a special place of honor in our society, and their depiction on our currency serves that need just fine. Those who wish to change this tradition will never be happy until the destroy all our traditions and rewrite history. In other words, they will never be satisfied and will never be happy. Do you think if they get their way here they`ll be satisfied? Nope. There`s an agenda here. Next they`ll want to remove George Washington and put Margaret Sanger on instead. Might as well stand up to them now.

I’d be happy to settle for a $20 with a portrait of Reagan
giving Democrats the Royal Salute.

I believe my $5 bill is a $20 bill. If you refuse to believe that with me, you are a hater.

FWIW, Harriet Tubman was a conservative. She would NOT have approved of the black racism that is currently running wild among the liberals.

There is good reason to believe she was nuts, acting erratically for years after a brutal head injury.

Trump should just leave Jackson, and call it a cost-saving measure

Only the Founders should be on currency.

The founders would be appalled to find their faces on currency.

It would smack to them of monarchism and not republicanism.

That is why for most of our history we had Lady Liberty on currency and also why we had some of the most beautiful coins in the world.

True works of art.

Now? Dull.

And the Blacks would get to “relive his presidency” every time they put a penny in their fuse box to keep the lights on!

And a side benefit is that there are darned few of those old fuse boxes still in use!

You can’t be that astute on American history if you’ve never heard of her.
