This is an interesting line of thought that needs to be more fully explored, especially as we move into an era where things like UBI are a more serious consideration.
Off the top of my head I'm not sure how such a thing could be structured without allocating some non-trivial portion of tax revenue to it, and then figuring out how to sell that to Congress who seem to prefer more targeted things like deductions + pork that let them more actively micromanage where the funds go.
But worth brainstorming about and not ruling out any idea just yet.
