Your figures are a bit off.
$5/month from every US income tax payer is not $20 billion a year.
There were just under 139 million income tax payers in 2007. At $60/year, that's $8.34 billion per year, or about 0.6% of total income tax revenue.
US Music sales are over $5 billion a year
US Book sales are over $10 billion a year
US DVD sales are over $20 billion a year
That's at least $35 billion

I suppose some people though, perhaps working in the current publishing business, might feel a bit threatened by my words of wisdom.
