All these people should be able to deduct business expenses for the use of space in their home.

Lets say you are salaried, at $150K/year. At that point the 5% tax is $7,500/year, or roughly $3.75/hour = $30 / day. I know a lot of people making that much, but very few that average that amount in what they consumer (gas/coffee/food) each day. The other component of this is that the plan is to charge this tax permanently, but sell it based on giving 29M people a one time payment of $3K

Well, I believe they already are, if that's their main work location, but the employer should be compensating them for the use of a portion of their home, plus office costs like toner, etc., unless they're providing those items.

We get that already. No gas needed for the car. No tolls. They will make that up by raising auto registration fees.
