[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 12183, member: 487"]The response I have received is that most people want Reagan on our currency. I am not sure who "most" people are, so it is a little hard to argue that point. My comment to that is that "most" people do not want taxes, but I see no elected official fighting for that cause. I understand that we need taxes, so please don't forward the lecture on that point. It was just an example that what we want as a whole isn't always a good thing. The elected leaders while trying to provide what we want, are also required to provide what we need. I believe that all of us know that because we want something, doesn't necessarily make it what we need. As far as the founding fathers go, their idea that our currency should reflect America and its people is a good idea. No person living or dead can represent everyone. Liberty is the basis for all of us, and the country as a whole. Liberty goes beyond politics, race, creed, or religion. Just because most people want something today, doesn't mean it will be wanted tomorrow. The first congress knew this. So here is my question. Is today is more important than yesterday or tomorrow?[/QUOTE]
