Seriously man, comments like that make me sick because they completely evade reality...
You should ask the more honest question:
Does a person have a basic RIGHT to possess the fruits of his labor (profit) in the form of something which no idiot politician can possibly destroy the value of due to his scheming, evasion and political games -- or should he be loyal to some illogical altruistic belief in the "greater good" or some such nonsense and keep it in a form such that any idiot like Obama-bahama can steal it at will (by printing money and destroying the dollar's value and thus "stealing" a huge hunk of it without anybody being able to do a GOD DAMN THING ABOUT IT).
I tell you, us Americans are fucking dumber than dirt. If the government started RANDOMLY withdrawing large sums from our bank accounts we would be rioting in the street brandishing our guns -- but if they do the same thing in DEED but using a different method and words to describe it -- printing money -- we do NOTHING. We sit on our asses.
I don't care if the nation collapses -- and I hope no person rich enough to matter does either -- because it is the people's fault that we have allowed politicians to have the power to play with the money supply arbitrarily, affording no protection to anyone's dollar savings. If you don't want people buying gold, remove the government's ability to print money, and remove people that believe Keynes bullshit economic ideas from power.
