Interesting concept, but politically impossible without a collapse to precede it and the hanging of the current aristocracy, so for all practical purposes impossible, like most alternative tax models.
politics is the art of the possible, so if you are going to suggest solutions, and you are serious as opposed to just being theoretical, the solutions either have to be incremental and based in an understanding of how our current aristocracy works, or they hav eto sidestep the aristocracy altogether and be aheivable by the people alone.
if you want to assume that the aristocracy is allowed to continue, whatever plan you propose has to be incremental and acceptable to the special interests.
