To get good governance and policies, we must advocate for the Gold Standard.
The middle and working classes have been strip-mined by the likes of Wall Street, big banks, corporations, the Federal Reserve, and the government itself (via destructive policies). Under the Gold Standard, the middle and working classes were relatively better off than they are now and America was an industrial giant. After Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold in 1971, the decline of the middle and working classes followed leading to both classes collectively losing their economic wealth and political influence. Consequently, those of us who are non-trillionaires, non-billionaires, and non-millionaires have virtually no power in these United States (I mean we can vote, protest, and do advocacy work but at the end of the day, moneyed interests win more often than not).
To get sound policies that are beneficial for We the People, and the country itself, we have to economically re-empower the working and middle classes by implementing the Gold Standard.
