I'd say probably not. The thing is, if everyone that played the game is honest, wasn't in it for power etc.., and were in it just for the fun, than it may work. But seeing as this isn't possible, it wouldn't.
Like posted above, it especially isn't fair to those who have 5k prestige, with only 50k of each resource to start to have to give a bunch of that away. It would cause people not wanting to be in alliances anymore, because they know they would have to give away a percent of their resources/gold to the higher ups.
Also, it would cause a squabble for higher up positions in existing alliances, and you would have a ton of people breaking away to make their own alliances, where they could host themselves, and thus gain a bunch of free resources. It would cause an excess of allainces with one or two people in it, which wouldn't be beneficial to the server, likewise, you would have a ton of problems in larger allainces.
In addition, people currently see the position of being an officer, presbyter, VH or host as a postition of honour, and usually, they want to do whats best for the alliance. If this idea were ever implicated, the host would be torn as to whether be a good guy, or to charge all his members ridiculous amounts of resources.
Sorry to frown on the idea, but I just can't see it working.
