Well, my main problem with this variation is that it does not leave a clear plan for White. Assuming Black castles Kingside, then a case of opposite-side castling will occur. Thus, White's plan should be to attack on the Kingside. However, both of his Bishops are pointed toward the Queenside, with no clear place to go.
In general, these systems are only going to work 5% of the time. It's much more accurate to respond to your opponents moves. If you really like these systems, though, try the King's Indian Attack, or certain lines in the English Opening.
The main problem with that set up is that it loses outright as I have shown.
And, of course,
chessisgood is correct that in chess one should respond to each move played.

5. dxc5 is good for white, but I know you're not serious with that line. I really don't think this setup is as bad as some people are claiming, but it is still not to be recommended.

Really badly placed Bishop. Plus the fact you have the Queen in front of the King makes it susceptible to a black rook if the file were to be opened up.
