One problem with your scenario. It makes too much sense.
There is much to like in this proposal. Directing revenue toward workers instead of bombs is appealing. But what will we say to the unemployed, disabled and elderly, who now depend on means-tested welfare programs to get by? They get nothing in this proposal, and will lose the housing, medical, food and retirement benefits they receive now.
