Rule of thumb...if you want more something...subsidize it and if you want less of something tax it. Elimination of the capital gains tax (Increase in Capital Investment) and national sales tax should be installed in its place (Results in Decrease Consumption increase personal savings). This would be a formula for long term economic benefit that will be sustained for longer periods.

I like the first half of Gem's answer. They all need changed. My favorite proposal is called the Fair Tax. Find out more at the link below.

I suggest a $2.00 USD Gasoline Tax to each gallon of gasoline.
I suggest a $1,000.00 USD Yearly Cylinder Tax to each car over 4 cylinders.
I suggest a $5,000.00 USD Baby Tax to each Father and Mother over 1 baby. If the father of the baby cannot be DNA tested then the mother would have to pay for the entire tax.
I suggest a $20.00 USD Fine for every CD and a $40.00 USD Fine for every DVD found at your house or car (I mean Illegal CDs or DVDs)
I could go on for days...

All of them.
But it probably won't happen because the government is never going to shrink itself by becoming logical in their business dealings.
Ain't gonna happen.
