The primary federally required thing citizens have to do is pay taxes. Legally you cannot pay taxes in any other currency than USD. You can legally buy or barter for goods in many other ways, but USD is the only legal means for paying federal taxes.

Sure.

> Legally you cannot pay taxes in any other currency than USD.

Sure. But though that two sentence pair is both true and includes the word “primary” and a reference to “USD” and paying taxes, it doesn't support th conclusion that the primary use of USD is for paying taxes.

It sounds like your definition of 'primary' is at odds with everyone else's.
