Generally I would prefer to tax income people haven't earned and taxes on things that damage the environment, but those taxes tend to harm poor people who cant subsidize their energy consumption with smarter solutions.
1. Property taxes (centered on value increase not due to improvements)
2. Inheritance taxes (high on huge fortunes - almost confiscation, low on small family businesses. Capitalism with a fair chance for everybody)
3. Registration fees on cars (road pricing would be better, but it limits personal freedom) This works best in cities, there should be exemptions for rural areas.
4. Gasoline and oil taxes.
5. Water consumption fees (with a taxfree minimum for per person).
6. Taxes on hash (legal), liquor and tobacco.
7. Income tax as low as possible on wages, higher on capital gains
8. Tobin tax
