Speaking as a non-economist (but an interested layman and a working person seeking to understand economic policies) I think these sound like solid proposals.

The core idea, of using taxation and other intruments as a means of funding the common wealth, is admirable and not, theoretically, beyond reach.

However, as Doug said, the greatest challenge will be the inevitable effort by the usual suspects to discredit it all as a threat to the interests of average folks.

'Jobs will be loss, businesses will flee,' and all the rest of the standard propaganda fare will be offered - particularly if you manage to get a reasonably fair hearing.

Your group had best prepare counter arguments to these scare tactics in advance.
