Too wordy, too specific, open to being misconstrued.

Wordy, specific, and open to misconstruction? How so?
I'll admit that the financial responsibility and tax reform amendments are more convoluted than I'd like; however that would be unnecessary if the government were honorable, but its lack of honor is precisely why such amendments are now needed.

I’ll stick with Marc Levin’s drafts in “The Liberty Amendments”. Simple, to the point and language appropriate to the task at hand.

I read a few of them; some were good, others seemed to me to not be that great. (Though, I can't recall specifics at the moment.)

Like I said, though, I applaud your efforts.

Thank you; your critique is quite welcome.

I don’t want to spend a lot of time on this; like I said I think your heart is in the right place and your intentions are laudable.

But, since you asked, I’ll start and end with your first item:

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

You don’t need to say worker; withheld from wages is enough. Unless you mean to permit withholding from wages for people other than workers. Do you want to allow withholding from wages paid to non-citizens? And what is “a worker of any citizen of either”?

“No tax on incomes shall be withheld from wages.” gets the job done without creating issues as yours does. That’s an example of what I mean.
