What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I'll reply to people doing that by using their own arguments.

Based on the replies to me, the gold standard is the panacea for every ill in society. We'll all be rich, the wealthy will be torn down, we'll all be home owners, there will never be another bust, etc etc

It probably won't do any of that. But it does make it a lot harder to print money and hand it over to the wealthy without people figuring out who is paying the bill.
