change the fact that billionaires and trillionaires won't have pay a dimes in taxes with these 'new' notes, while a retiree like myself will have to still shell out 1500 on a measly 8100 made this post retirement year. And while .30 on the dollar could have helped in savings, every penny of my income had to go to my survival in these times. Please. Spare me the condescending attempt at easing the racism and unfairness that is rife within this free, equal and democratic nation. Need less taxes, corruption and condescension and more of the former mentioned above.
