Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

Mine is a tad more complicated.
Make a list of all the possible ways to accomplish something that you can think, sort them from the ones that will benefit other living things the most, then the ones that will do the least harm to other living things, and at the bottom, the ones that will do the most harm to other living things.
When the harm is similar, put first within that range the ones that will do the least harm to those who are cloest to you.
Once you have the list, try to do what's at the top of the list. If you can't, move down the list until you can do what you need to do.

Would the most moral way to kill someone I personally don't like involve donating all their organs to hospitals? Would the most moral way to get a billion dollars be counterfeiting?

I think your system fails to address that some things are always immoral.

"until you can do what you need to do" adequately addresses both of your examples, nobody needs a billion dollars ever, you do not need to kill people who you personally find unlikable

By "need to do", are the referring to what one needs to do to survive? Who decides what is and isn't needed?
