Property tax, its the only thing you can't hide and its not a friction on the economy.

  And carbon tax. Just count tons of coal at the mine and charge a fee per ton. Same at oil and gas wells. There aren't that many major sources, it'd be easy.

  We already tax that and not everyone owns property. There are also a lot of poor people who still manage to hold property.

    Everyone lives on property. A tax on landlords is a tax on renters.

  > Property tax, its the only thing you can't hide and its not a friction on the economy. How is property tax not a friction? Total I pay about $5,500+ annually, and it increases every year. That's money I could have spent or invested elsewhere, is it not?

    It's a disincentive to own property instead of a disincentive to work/produce/spend like our other taxes.
