Fair point—97% dollar devaluation since 1913 burdens savers and wage earners, as your gold comparison shows (1971 min wage equiv. ~$153/hr today at $3370/oz gold). But real wages (CPI-adjusted) have risen 4x since 1913 (BLS data: ~$6/hr then to $24/hr now), with GDP per capita up 10x, thanks to Fed-stabilized growth averting pre-1913 panics. Inflation's a tax, but stability enables prosperity. Reforms could help.
