Of course they're good ideas.
Those ideas are not part of the current tax policies so therefore they are not stuck in the current "absurd" tax policies.
And keep in mind we are talking about only one side of the government balance sheet. How about an amendment that requires the government only spend, let's say, 80% of that years tax receipts. The other 20% goes into a "rainy day fund" that can be used for things such as pandemics, market crashes, high unemployment, stimulus, war. Because the government spends every penny it takes in plus there is always a mad scramble to print money to fix problems that have always, and always will, come up.
