Is “Typical voter” fake? His demands contain several spelling and grammar issues, such as “Constitution Convention” (which should probably be “constitutional convention”) and “four” (instead of “for”). His demands numbered 1 through 4 are not even whole sentences, missing verbs or improperly using verbs. So is this perhaps a Russian communist that is trying to undermine our democracy by suggesting a coup d’état?? No one but lawmakers in the several states can call a constitutional convention, just so you know. So “we” is not possible whoever you are (I highly doubt you are a legislator).
I agree with number 4, by the way. But number 1 is total nuts and impossible. I mean where is the United States supposed to receive the money to fund defense, education, law enforcement, retirement and social safety-net programs, high ways, etc.? Since you said you don’t want assets to be taxed, customs duties would be outlawed as well. You said something about direct taxes and then mentioned wages. Just for clarification, taxes on wages are indirect taxes; so would you want to outlaw both direct and indirect taxes? That leaves absolutely nothing to be taxed. Wait, aliens? That effectively causes trade with other nations to stop. Really, a prohibition on taxation would be like pushing a knife down someone’s throat, death inevitable. And that wouldn’t be nice if the United States ceased because then Florida will become French again, California to Texas will be Mexican and the whole East Coast will be under the rule of the British queen, spare for some angry Native Americans that will take the Mid-West back.
I tend to reject number 2 and 3 on procedural grounds (means I don’t know how that would work out).
Think twice about what you wish, because you might just get it…

We the people need to call a Constitution Convention to level the playing field and impose four new limits on the federal government.

1) No revenues may be raised directly from US Citizens or their employers. This would place a permanent prohibition against the federal government from taxing individual wages, or assets.

2) A prohibition against any form of post service taxpayer funded compensation for persons serving in any federal elected position.

3) A prohibition against allowing any individual to serve more than two terms in any single elected office and no more than sixteen years in all elected offices combined.

4) The criminalization of “paid” lobbying. No individual or business may lobby or solicit members of Congress on behalf of any other individual or business for any form of compensation or favor.

The Governments of the world are just printing their own operating money while the transform the economies into one world fashion to deal with what they see as a worldwide problem , over population .
Bill Gates spells it out here , people are the largest contributor of CO-2 , the progressives biggest fear of contributing to climate change .

Of course, it’s part of the deal they cut with the anational banking cabal back in the 30s.
