Yes, that works for me better than a sales-based tax. Assuming the numbers come out the same (or are adjusted to match budget needs)
The problem is - a big change like this is not doable. It just won't happen in this lifetime. Incremental changes over many years could get us withing reach, but a big change I just don't see ever happening. Which is why I proposed the constantly changing iterative idea.
