Ideally, I'd like to see a flat marginal tax starting at a high level -- something like $100k/year -- but (a) I'm open to alternatives, and (b) I really need to crunch some numbers to estimate expected revenues for various tax structures and levels, so we can figure out what rules would actually work to fund an acceptable level of government.

I have a particular pet peeve against market-based property taxes.

I like the idea of taxation via inflation (i.e. simply printing however much money the government needs in order to operate), and can make a strong case for it, though there are some concerns that need to be addressed and it may be practically unworkable under current political conditions.
