I like it overall, but I fear it would turn into a new game of "how not to pay taxes" by obfuscation of what ones income truly is. Those wealthy enough to play that game today would be the same ones to play it under new rules. I would accept this proposal if, and only if, far more is spent on enforcement to assure gamesmanship is absolutely minimized.
And while you're at it, make it illegal to accept campaign donations to run for public office or to use your own money to run for office. Make it a flat amount provided by the gubmint and that's all you get. Level the playing field and make it a lot harder to get rich off of dark money.
