And consider taxing all money transfers out of the country at 100% until poverty is under 8%, unemployment is under 3%, and the national debt is below 2% of its current amount.

Unconstitutional? No. See 26 USC 6672. Congress simply needs to adopt the concept for money transfers to foreign countries.

Unworkable? No. If someone wants to transfer $1,000,000 out of the country, let them come up with $2 million and pay $1 million to Uncle Sam. If they want to transfer a dollar, let them come up with $2 dollars.
