The article assumes we want to pay taxes and that a significant portion of our tax dollars are spent wisely thus making taxation an advantage of the dollar. Convincing Americans to switch to a currency other than the dollar is roughly as futile as convincing the Internet to switch to a protocol other than TCP/IP, and for the same reasons. Meh, you don't have to convince Americans, just convince other people. Other countries are already working around the US dollar. Wasn't there a recent deal announced between Russia, China, Brazil and India for them to accept their own currencies as an alternative to US dollars for debts, loans, etc.?
