Simply eradicate the silly income taxes and use traditional real estate tax, energy taxes, road tax, sales tax, and other waste taxes. The problem is that countries that messed up their tax system during a war aren't going to revert them so they are forever dealing with the market results of taxing income instead of taxing resource usage. Why shouldn't you buy and hold important resources if the society isn't making those resources fund the system? Having these free gifts for whoever had money seemed very clever back when the rich people from a system didn't have to let foreign rich people have the same access to their plunder.
