Get over it already. Currency is just an abstraction that exists to simplify trade between parties that create different forms of wealth. It's not a "yoke" or any such thing created by a bunch of crazed brits with Isaac Newton and his band of merry alchemists at the helm. For the love of God, get a grip!

If you are creating wealth in any way (and by wealth I do not mean "money" -- I mean "something of value to you and others"), then you will be fine. The relationship between the value of the wealth you create and the value of the wealth anyone else creates is not going to change significantly just because the dollar fluctuates. The only reasons that will change are:

a) You form of wealth creation is easily replicated, and will soon be done by Chinese child labor or robots at a much lower cost.
b) New technology makes your skill obsolete.
c) The wealth you create is of a transient value to society.

Bankers work the margin, they make money on transactions. They depend deeply on the continued creation and subsequent trade of wealth so they can skim the transaction. If you have a bone to pick with bankers, just quit trading your wealth with others (i.e. learn to build your own home, grow your food, and make your clothing -- or invent a way to metabolize source code).
