how about moving as many decisions as possible from the legislative branch to referendum of the people? with a strong central constitution that limits sociopathic power grabs, shouldn't individual communities determine nuts-and-bolts issues, whether we want the baseball stadium or the new road?
#2: Income tax can be fully replaced with Sales Tax, and states that manage to survive on that only show the appropriate percentage.
#3: Inheritance tax is not necessarily bad, assuming it's after assets that are worth, say, a thousand times more than anyone would need in life. The question is, how was all that wealth accumulated. Most of such wealth comes from ripping the taxpayer off and enjoying lucrative government contracts that generate multiple times of honest profit.
#4 is spurious at best, it needs a more detailed explanation. When would one become an "emigrant" and by what standards? Who is a "rebel" and who is going to decide on such matters?
#5: The Fed is the largest criminal scheme in the history of the world, so terminating it would be essential. This country (the world, too) can be saved only if people have their own currency.
#6: "Free market" only allows the biggest bully to rule over the schoolyard and once that happens, the country will be back exactly where it is now: owned by cartels and monopolies.
#7: Depends on the "government." Allowing private enterprises to rob people from their natural resources is not exactly nice. Consider how spring water is exploited all over the country, while people would need better potable water.
#8: Corporate armies must also be outlawed. As long as corporate campaign contributions are legally considered "free speech," corporations are legal entities possessing the right to bear arms, too.
#9: So, how can all the previous restrictions/rules can be implemented, if the government has no power? How can it be stopped, if it has THAT MUCH power? Obviously, no government must be allowed to muzzle, "test," and inject citizens. The one that attempt to do it, is illegitimate...
#10: It is, indeed, unfair to use property taxes for public schools. The problem is that parents need a babysitting place for their children. How else can the adults make money? Even daycare is prohibitively expensive for poor people, especially single parents. Woke ideologies that are against common sense must be definitely expelled from any form of education.
As for over-sexing and over-stimulation, popular culture and the drug trade (mostly controlled by existing agencies) would be nice to harness.
$1: I am all for allodial titles, I would probably limit land/asset ownership to the point that nobody could get above upper middle class. Anything above that only accumulates to cartels and generates monopolies that kill off everything mid-sized or smaller.
How can the country to be competitive in that case? It doesn't have to, if a Mercantilist approach is assumed.
1. Would you like to have over-privileged morons to own 99% of land, especially arable land, only because they can outbid everyone else?
2. Would you like foreigners to take over America?

And it goes on and on and on...

My BIGGEST QUESTION is:
WHO WOULD HAVE THE POWER TO INTRODUCE AND ENFORCE THE ABOVE RULES? WHAT WOULD GUARANTEE THAT THE SAME POWER IS NOT GOING TO BE USED AGAINST EVERYONE ELSE?
I have been advocating for DECENTRALIZATION of many things for ages; education, agriculture, finance, governance, monetary system, energy, MSM... etc. Diversity means diversity of thought, options and solutions. This is how we gain strength through unity, through DIFFERENCES, not through centralized/monopolized control (decreased solutions via consolidated controllers)
5. End the Fed and decentralize credit in the hands of willy nilly private banks with no exclusive monopoly on capital. They can variously issue nonfractional certificates redeemable in precious metal bullion, commodities and securities defined and regulated by the several States.
Be careful about nullifying all of the 14 th Amendment. Some of 14A strengthens individual rights protection and those clauses should be selectively retained.

Sounds all good, but it gets complicated.
