Worthless Money

Back in the day they had what was called Silver Certificates meaning you could go to any bank and get 1oz of silver for your dollar bill. 1 oz of silver today is worth $21.09 per ounce can you buy $21.09 worth of food today for one paper dollar? at $15.00 an hour you should be making $316.00 per hour, this isn't rocket science lol

Just look at the national debt. This is mostly higher wages that never made it to the working class.
