Ah yes, wages are down because of moving away from the gold standard. It certainly has nothing to do with the death of unions in this country, de-regulation, or offshoring jobs.

Nope. Doesn't even make sense. Gold standard wouldn't fix income inequality, that's like saying changing your house's plumbing will fix your diarrhea. It's something else entirely.
