IRONY: The $20 dollar federal reserve note is a mockery of Andrew Jackson. He killed the bank but it came back and put his face on it.

Equally ironic is that Harriet Tubman is going on the 20$ A women who freed slaves will be on a debt based fiat currency that enslaves us.

Benjamin Franklin was also against central banks, and I believe that is another president on our currency that did as well. Abe Lincoln??

Also JFK. See executive order 11110. He was assassinated shortly thereafter. He tried to nationalize the federal reserve.

Benjamin Franklin wasn't President of the United States though

Fine, but your Splitting hairs. 2$ Bill Thomas Jefferson, Specifically Warned and Opposed by definition what the Federal Reserve is. 5$ Bill Abraham Lincoln was also against central banks

not really splitting hairs, just saying that Franklin wasn't President of the nation.

fair enough, but the OP didn't didn't specify president, merely the irony between Jackson(who happened to be a president) but the focus was on his hatred for the very same bank that put his face on their currency. Additionally, Ben Franklin is one of the founding fathers.

In case you are interested. I never looked into this but who knows, maybe there is something to this. something to do between the new page refreshes anyways.

:-O

lol. I never thought about that.
Dick move.

Andrew Jackson's reasons for killing the Second Bank of the United States were sound - in part due to its significant percentage of foreign ownership which he deemed an extremely dangerous position for the government to be in.

For anyone interested, here's the full text of his presidential veto of the bill to recharter the bank, thus killing it.

Can we get Trump to put Andrew Jackson back on the bill? His removal is bullshit.

I halfway agree with you, there are somethings about Jackson that I dislike, but I love anyone who despises the Federal Reserve. However, to honor and respect Jackson it's probably best to remove him, though I'd prefer someone other than Harriet Tubman. If were going to play the political move by putting a Black person on the currency I'd rather it be Martin Luther King.

This is done on purpose. "Example out of him" he was a leaker! Jackson and his revolution, he went after privatized banks, and exposed them for profiting off the American people, Jackson was an outsider, when all previous were plantation owners from Virginia

Twenties are for peasants any way.
