I'm thoroughly confused on what, exactly, you're proposing.
I want to make a 100 Bitcoin transaction to you.
You're proposing that I need to pay a "transmit fee" ... which is paid to who and does what, exactly?
If I pay it to A, B, and C, does that mean they rebroadcast the transaction to everybody they're connected to? Do they, in turn, pay transmit fees to the nodes they're rebroadcast it to? What stops them from saying "Thank you very much for the transmit fee" and cheating (drop my transaction on the floor)?
Satoshi's proposal that all transaction carry a minimum fee to cover network overhead makes sense; whoever generates the block with the transaction gets the fee.
