Back the USD with a real commodity. Remove it’s fiat status. Then eliminate all of the laws and regulations that violate our privacy. There are other ways to fight drug cartels and terrorist than micromanaging and tracking law abiding US citizens financial transactions. Revise the tax code, repeal the constitutional amendment allowing the income tax, and get rid of tax returns. No reason for government to know about your finances then. Tariff the hell out of the Chinese and their allies. Do these things and we will have a real dollar again.

Does this really matter? I know some folks want it tied to gold or such but I personally do not see how it really matters and I bet 99.99999% of the population could care less, would even want to be bothered by the question, nor understand pros and cons.

What would you suggest are top 5 pro and con reasons?

And taxes, can't avoid them, but do need to make sure they are fair. I'd love to see a simple flat tax, even replace it with a VAT, getting rid of millions of tax folks.
