What I like about your tax and money amendments is this:

You do not utilize easily manipulated concepts like GNP, GDP, "Money supply", or CBO estimates.

The tax problem is easily solved (once people are persuaded).

The fix for "coin money and regulate the value thereof" is much more complicated, which you seem to realize.

Nice start!

I figure that the definitions thereof were too easily manipulated (to our detriment). It is far easier & simpler to use a gold-backed Dollar... well this even destroys that level of indirection: the US Dollar would be that gold weight, not a piece of paper. (Also note that that weight of gold could be put into coinage at a lesser total purity.)

Which problem are you referring to?
Having an Income Tax? Having it be Uniform?

Thank you.
