How about they just put a wig on Hamilton and call it even?
Great idea! Let’s start a rumor that Hamilton was actually transgendered. Or at the very least that he said he always felt more like a woman than he did a man.

A deliberate microaggression. A monetary aggression!
This is a trial balloon for other changes. Why pay tribute to only one protected class.

Better than Hillary. Lizzie had much more character and personal values.

"Better than Hillary. Lizzie had much more character and personal values."
She also did a better job of covering her tracks, but hillary is a pretty good understudy for her.
To: clearcarbon
Lizzie also harmed many less people than Hillary has.
I think that’s good to remember as well.

Why Hamilton and not Jackson? Neither. Why the $10 bill and not the $20? Because the mint rightly figured that the most recognizable portraits on the $100, $20 and $5 US notes are far more important than some political stunt. The $10 note is not as recognizable and not used as much outside the United States compared to the other denominations.
So there, really simple answer to a liberal who wants to make it so far more complicated.

I don’t so much mind them changing the face of the bill as long as they don’t put some ass on it.

I find Ive spent my $10bills quicker than I intended. They're the new quarters.
The 2007 dollar was worth 1/10th of a 1950 dollar. What's the inflation cumulatively since 2007? Treasury (lying) says it's about zero.

“So, why remove Hamilton? The article isnt clear.”
The only reason I can think of is to put a woman on a bill. When the dust settles I think it is a nearly perfect certainty it will be a black woman simply because of the PC movement. Not that there are not black women who are deserving but I don’t think anyone who is NOT a black woman will be considered. Lowbridge already suggested Harriet Tubman because she was at least a Republican. I would not be surprised to see “Sojourner Truth” selected. Hell’s bells, as crazy as this country is now it may be Oprah. I hereby nominate Lena Horne. At least she would look good on a bill. It would be cheating though, she was not really black, she was apparently a mixture of white, American Indian and black. By some reports she was a descendant of the fiery slavery advocate from South Carolina, two time vice president John C. Calhoun.

I’m fine with that as well. She too was a Republican. :-)
