How would you treat churches? They are considered non-profits, though they don't have to become a 501(C)3 to qualify. It seems to me that taxes would force churches to close their doors, consolidate and stop whatever ministry activities they still managing to do.

On the upside, it would also do the same for secular non-profits, which generally have much larger and better paid staffs.

And I rather doubt a 3% tax on non-profits would eliminate any of the individual income tax. Currently about half of workers don't pay taxes or get it all back in refunds (plus extra for some). People who pay no taxes and vote tend not to care if the government is eating the private sector because...well, it costs them nothing so why not vote for crap that kills the market economy?
