One thing I'd love the US to do was something that happend in Germany ~2015, where they bought a lot of "Steuer-CD"s, with leaked info about people hiding money in offshore accounts. Then they allowed everyone to self report and applied more scrutiny to larger corporations which in total added several billions in revenue.
