I think you've mis-parsed this section:
Case 1 — 2/3rds of both houses deem it necessary to propose amendments.
Case 2 — The Legislatures of 2/3rds of the states say we want to propose amendments
.
Both cases then join together on the flow-chart not seen for the rest of the sentence.
Tax Reform Amendment

No tax, federal or state, shall ever be withheld from the wages of a worker of any citizen of either.

Section I
The power of Congress to regulate the value of the dollar is hereby repealed.
Section II

Section IV
No law may impose prohibitions of any sort on the commerce between the several states due to the item itself.
Like your idea(s) except for:
Tax S1: ‘wages’ best be spelled out. They’d call ‘em any other name just to get around the rule.
S2: nullification has always been the purview of We the People, why spell it out again?
S5: Why 10%? Why not 3? States must already balance their books, the Fed. is operating extra-Const. as it is
S7: Ex post facto is already unlawful, no?
S10: No benefits should be given to the same in the FIRST place (to be rescinded)
F.R.Act
S1-2: Coinage act already lays this out?
S6: Only 2x? Make it HURT financially, they should also be jailed.
S7: Unnecessary if they followed A1S8, but I guess why this is needed :P
C.C.A
S1: We have green subsidies already that fall into this category. There should be NO give-aways of taxpayer funds for ANY reason
S3: ‘, or circumvent any Right(s)’
Think you left one out though:
- NO ONE’s taxes shall be less than 1%. There is no services that are FREE for any Citizen.
- All votes/delegates tallied by districts, NOT by tally of votes (no longer let the cities over-rule the rest of the State/Country)
- Voting shall be done on the same day for all States, and directly after (if any) tax payments are made (no more can 5 States delegate the runners and people will know how much their vote is costing)
- Equality of Law (if the rules pertain to XYZ, it shall pertain to gov’t as well).
Damn, I’d fill up the NSA servers with the rest :P
