I belive money symbolizes the American freedom of choice seen in the 21st century. There are so many options as to what Americans can spend money on in this time. Cars, electronics, food, clothes, vacations, homes, are all part of the variety of ways people choose to use their cash.
Once acquired, money can be spent in the manner the owner wishes. People have the option to choose the way that they wish to spend their money. It is a freedom. Having money means you can choose what things you want to see, do or have. You can spend ten dollars on gas, movies, lunch or earrings. It is completely up to the owner to pick the way it is spent.
Also, an even bigger choice given to Americans is the way they can choose where they buy their particular items. In the American 21st century this means that there are limitless choices. If one prefers McDonalds over Subway, they can choose to buy a hamburger over a sandwich. A person can prefer a PC over a Mac, there’s another choice. There are no limitations to the way money is spent once acquired (after of course accounting for taxes). At the same time money can also be saved for something larger in the future.
Money is a type of freedom, just like speech. Although money needs to be earned first, once in procession both speech and money can be used in the way the owner wishes. So in this day and age, choice through the use of money is a major source of freedom for Americans.
