Edison?? I'm gonna vote against him.
While he did make a number of inventions, he's also known for credit-stealing and acting like a huge jerk to other inventors.
There were people who made proto-lightbulbs before him, he just invented the best one to date.
And his treatment of Tesla is infamous.

Plus Edison quite literally held this country back from progress by fighting so hard against Tesla's alternating current. His jealously and greed held this country back.

I'm sure there are papers written about the need for people to do this; it's been happening since the dawn of time.
Yes, but think about why it happened way back in the past. A lot of stuff was word of mouth then, your average person didn't know much about history and didn't have easy access to a library or the internet. So a long long time ago these things could serve as reminders about the past.
But now we don't need them in order to do that.

Why?
Its what tax dollars are for, like it or not. And yes, i'm aware that opinion can be argued against to death.
Still, considering the slave labor and countless deaths that mark most if not all of humanity's great monuments, i count it as a bonus i'm not pushing a massive block of stone up a hill getting whipped; you can have a few bucks out of my paycheck.

I suppose building statues could be one thing tax dollars are meant for..but aren't there more important things to worry about?

Not possible, anything with my likeness would explode from the sheer awesomeness of it. My momma learned a lesson when she put my face on some cupcakes for my birthday once. But when mountains explode people tend to get more then just chocolate and shame on them.
