>I believe part of the problem is that many people simply cannot afford to pay more. If we could target both problems at once I can see this working very well.
Yes, you can. Give cash to everyone, and take it back via increased marginal income taxes rates (ideally an exponential tax rate function), aka wealth redistribution.
>The solution I posted does consider low income people and would have an immediate benefit to everyone except the companies that have created the problem.
The problem is in the logistics and crafting of the legislation, and then the court fights, and so on and so forth. We have seen this time and time again, and probably will, because legislation with tons of loopholes that makes people feel like they are sacrificing, but not really, is the only politically possible solution.
