My favorite one that I usually keep to myself because it makes me sound like a loon since it's so far out of the Overton window (but quite popular with economists): abolish corporate income tax.
Corporate income tax is regressive, because AmaGooBookSoft is much better at not paying taxes than a mom and pop grocery store. But I think you've lost most of the constituents that think that's a good thing after saying you're gonna slash corporate taxes to literally zero.
I'd love to see land tax too, but I appreciate that the Constitution doesn't make that easy. But damnit, if we somehow outlawed liquor, we can outlaw inefficient tax strategies.
You're absolutely correct on these IMHO. There is, at least, a multi decade trend of reducing corporate income taxes. Unfortunately all the complexity is still there even if the bills being paid are smaller.
And yes, Georgist taxes on the value of unimproved land would have so many benefits.
Can we get a carbon tax & dividend while we're at it? Dare to dream!
