Those are implementation details. It's difficult to accomplish these things in any taxation system, including our current one.

Well, these are really difficult implementation details to agree upon. There's no chance anyone will agree to something like this without seeing those details.

People typically don't agree to anything that impacts them negatively unless forced to.
