Why I’m for Hilary Banks 2016

Published on May 1st, 2015 | by Hypeline Staff

Before anyone gets confused and goes into freak mode, no, I don’t mean that Hillary. For those of us who grew up during the reign of the Fresh Prince, Hilary Banks was an irreplaceable character on the popular 90’s sitcom. She may share a first name and a love of stylish pantsuits with presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, but the similarities end there. On economics, foreign policy, and the IRS, the two Hillary’s couldn’t be more different.

And for help in differentiating… there’s even the “1-L” verus “2-L’s” difference in the spelling of their names.

Here are my top 6 reasons to vote for Hilary Banks over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

1. She comes from a political background.

Her father, Judge Philip Banks, supported criminal justice reform and gave ex-cons second chances in society. While Hilary preferred a career in media, eventually landing her own hit talk show, she used it as a platform to support her father’s causes…and fashion. Under president Banks, even crimes of fashion would be treated justly.

2. She’s a proud capitalist.

Hilary owned the fact that there’s nothing wrong with treating yo’ self. Hilary had expensive taste, and she wasn’t afraid to show it by supporting designer labels and embracing all the benefits of free market capitalism. Sure, she may be a cautionary tale of the dangers of excess, but at least she looked fabulous while doing it.

3. She hates the IRS

In one episode of the Fresh Prince, Hilary gets audited by the IRS goons and promptly has a meltdown. She enlists her brother Carlton’s help to thwart the IRS, and wins. Leave Hilary alone!

4. She’s Anti-War

Whether it’s supporting the latest philanthropic cause or attending charity dinners, Hilary has street cred. During a fancy dinner, Hilary comes out as an anti-war supporter. She said she hated the death and the violence of war…and the fact that her favorite TV show was interrupted by George Bush Sr. during operation Desert Storm. Well, two out of three isn’t bad.

5. She’s anti-taxes

When Hilary gets her first job, she’s ecstatic to open her paycheck…until she sees how much money the government’s taken away. Her mother tries to explain that income tax is nothing new, but she protests, “They’re new to me!” Under President Banks, you’d keep more of your paycheck to spend as you see fit. Maybe you could even pull a Hilary and splurge on a shopping spree.

6. Hilary is Pro-Gold!

Fiat currency has led to hyperinflation of the U.S. dollar. Because of the Federal Reserve’s ability to print as much money as it wants, inflation has made products more expensive. With a gold backed currency, reckless government spending would be reined in and our currency would once again have value. I’m not sure if Hilary knows all this or not, but I do know that she gets very excited at the thought of gold bars…even if looks can be deceiving.

In closing, if you want lower taxes, a more peaceful foreign policy, and a female president that can actually pull off a pantsuit, vote Hilary Banks in 2016. Or maybe we’re just not worthy.
