I'll switch it up: the only one I'd keep is property tax.  We don't have inheritance tax in Canada (shocking, I know, seeing as how we have every other tax plus we specialize in taxes on tax like HST on a carbon tax).  Taxin your efforts to earn and then spend and support an economy is stupid. Taxing your earning from risking your capital in investments is stupid.  Taxing your property to support the community and services that you use is less stupid. That includes any rental/investment properties you may own and benefit from.  Income and capital gains are kinda the same bent. Property tax is less so.
