Looney for a twoney?

Better idea ... put him on a penny and bump everyone else up a notch. (Lincoln to nickle, Jefferson to dime, etc).Then downsize it.

kidding aside ...Be radical andReplace the nickle with a three-pence ...Replace quarter & half dollar with a 30 cent coin, have a $3 bill instead of $5, $30 instead of $50, etcNow you have some new currency to face. And name.Civil rights (Parks, King), womens rights (sufferagettes), indian rights, migrant workers, irish immigrants and unions ...Edited by RAZD, : No reason given.

Ha I love it! That old Marxist!!!

Henry David ThoreauWho wrote Civil Disobedience while in jail for not paying taxes to support the war to invade Texas and take it from the Mexicans.

(wiki): Resistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience) is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican—American War.

So a three dollar bill with Thoreau in the center, a female black slave on one side and a mexican soldier on the other? And the motto: "individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences" ...

And the GOP echo chamber exploded in outrage.

Conservative Outrage Over A Coin.

​

Oh my, the mint has decided to be inclusive looking on some gold coins that most people won’t ever see. Well, I guess it’s the thought that counts, but that thought has brought out all the conservative anger. Messing with Lady Liberty, oh noes! Lady Liberty is not black, she’s white! I confess to never having seen the statue in person, but she’s always looked rather green to me.

​

Not only were unthinking cons upset about it, but it was an excuse for them to spew bigotry.

​

@AP The discrimination of white people by the @obama administration continues

​

@AP this administration doing everything to change history,including changing Lady Liberty from what the French sent us. Pathetic racism!

​

@AP i wouldnt pay a dime for it. This proves that the Obama’s are racist.

​

@AP take a close look at the Statue of Liberty. Obviously lady liberty is a white European. This is ridiculous!

​

There have been a great many observations made about the Statue of Liberty over the years. This is a remarkably stupid one. Obviously Lady Liberty is a green French woman.

Pathetic outrage over a symbol as if the statue was the defining image.Enjoy
