    "As long the money is still worth the same."

    A Troy Ounce of gold cost $21 when American Currency was on the Gold Standard.
    What is current price of a Troy Ounce of Gold?

    Somehow the money isn't worth the same to my way of thinking?

    A 20$ bill used to get you 20 dollars worth of gold nearly an ounce, Today 20$ gets you how close to an ounce of Gold?

    $20 will get you a 1/3 gram of 24 karat gold, it’s $59.03/gram

    Amend that to your current wage. Grams to an once: A regular Ounce is comprised of 28.35 grams. A Troy Ounce, however, is comprised of 31.1034807 grams. So your current hourly rate of employment has to equal or exceed $60 per hour to equal a dollar an hour on the Gold Standard. All those folks being paid over 60 dollars an hour by thier employers please raise thier hands. And the folks currently that are going to get raises to 15 dollars an hour and be paid 2,400 a month for slinging burgers while folks that worked thier fingers to the bone for 50 years are getting paid less than 1,000 dollars a month on a fixed income with penalties if they make a 15 dollar minimum wage, should they continue to work 40 hours a week.

    Slinging burgers at the local carhop was what you did in high school, then you grew up and got a real job that advanced society. You purchased a house and paid your mortgage while raising your children while working at least 40 hours a week for at least the next 30 years, then paying property taxes to fund the school system along with local political officers, only then could the lonely earned 15 dollars an hour from thier labor. Folks that had a 30,000 dollar a year retirement back when currency was on the gold standard didn't need much. Folks that are living on a 30,000 fixed income that planned that far ahead have to choose between groceries and medications without Cable TV or Internet. Those getting thier 1000 dollars a month or less of Social Security, COME ON MAN I made 12,000 dollars a year as a paperboy in 1959. How are these folks that worked 40,50, or 60 years a dredge on Our Society? Why are we as a society allowing those that actually built America expecting the Government to spend Our tax dollars feeding folks outside Our Borders while the folks that built Our Country with thier own boney fingers are expected to starve? Please order your Congress folks to expend Our Tax Dollars on the folks that built Our Country. Make those Public Servant tie thier Salaries to the Civil Servants of the Post Office, Firefighters, or Law Enforcement Agents.

    Let them defund the Police, and draw thier salaries at the same rate as Our Other Civil Servants. Defund the folks of the house of Representatives to the rate of pay of all Our other Civil Servants, then tie the rate of pay of Our Congressmen to that of the Police/Firefighters that actually serve Our Communities. Why have we let those elitists vote on thier salaries with Our representation? Don't allow OUR Representatives to determine thier compensation. When OUR Representative make more per year than WE can hope to earn in a lifetime of toil, perhaps things have gone wrong way around?????
