What we all should find quite sad is that the only type of tax people ever brainstorm about, is a tax on incomes, which everyone with even the slightest bit of economic knowledge/understanding, knows are anathema to economic activity
Renton, if you are serious about wanting to fix the current system, here are some of my favored ideas that we should be implementing.
First off, do away with the Income taxes altogether, we shouldn't be looking to punish people for productive activity. What one earns, one should keep
Have you ever heard of Silvio Gesell or Henry George?

Henry George is probably the most famous American political figure, nobody's ever heard of. And that's because his 19th century best seller Progress and Poverty laid out the groundwork on how to fix our system, so that it works and works well for everybody
here's his wiki page
here's a primer on land value taxation, a Winston Churchill speech where he explains it well in short order
maybe rather then bust your balls for such a silly idea, i figured i'd help you see some much better alternatives to our current system of fuckedness
