Rich reaction to Harriet Tubman on $20 bill: ‘Tea Party tears’

The U.S. Treasury has decided to replace former President Andrew Jackson with anti-slavery crusader Harriet Tubman on the U.S. $20 bill, and will put leaders of the women’s suffrage movement on the back of $10 bill, Politico reported Wednesday.

The long-awaited decision keeps Alexander Hamilton, one of the U.S. founding fathers, on the front of the $10 bill, Politico said, citing unnamed sources. It said there would also be changes to the $5 bill to depict civil rights era leaders.

I will say this: however complicated Tubman on the $20 bill might be, the Tea Party tears will be delightful.

Anyone who doesn’t want Harriet Tubman $20s can send them to me. I like history, I like money, and I like bilking the ideologically stupid.

It took the internet literally 5 minutes to start calling Harriet Tubman “ugly.” Because, you know, that George Washington is some looker!

If we can have Harriet Tubman on the 20 dollar bill why can’t we have 50 Cent on the 50 cent coin?
