That being said
you would be allowed to take the content for free (under cc-sa conditions) and the copyright holder would have to use the other methodologies to convince you to pay for it.
ie (dan bull method, zoe keating method, louis c.k. method ......)

So your idea doesn't work. I can't get paid using your system, unless they allow tax deductible payments to overseas companies. Nor can I deduct a payment to a foreign country under my tax system.

Granting someone a right to charge monopoly prices is a form of government subsidization
so you just argued to abolish all copyright protection.
of course if you want to keep that subsidy then you need to equally subsidize the cc-sa side of the equation just to be fair.

And replace it with a system that doesn't work.

1. not all kick starter campaigns only those which release the content under cc-sa
2. and not just kick starter but every sale across every network. Buy music that cc-sa from dan bull web site get to write it off your taxes.

I can't write it off. I'm not in the US.
And replace it with a system that doesn't work.
Then tax people via the charges added to content companies don't want to give away under your plan. Does the added tax apply to International sales or do we get it cheaper?
Your idea will never ever, in a million years happen. so go think it through a lot more.
You haven't explain away the Government control element. Does the US Government allow tax deductions on a charity to support dependents of suicide bombers? Extreme but you get my drift.
First Amendment doesn't cover your scheme which is about payment. If it does, you don't have a snowballs chance in hell of getting this through. Not that you have a chance any way.
