It's all about money. So, there is one tax I wouldn't mind seeing:
Any contibutor to political finance on ANY level must pay immediately an amount equal to their contribution to the US Treasury.
Firstly, I believe that will stop many contributors, as people HATE paying taxes
Secondly, we will all benefit from those that do contribute.
Support "in kind" should also be taxed similarly.
Thus, if I wish to donate $20, it's going to cost me $40 at that level I might not worry, but when I want to "buy" the government with $1m, I'm going to think twice before I donate another $1M to the treasury.
Should work, after all, Governments LOVE creating new taxes!

How about the VoIP guys, when receiving a 911 call request a location, record it, and pass it down the line to 911?
