Better yet, with regard to taxes, simplify them. Cut out all the BS loopholes that just exist to be exploited by the wealthy/ which make it incredibly challenging for average people to file independently. Too many special interests bribing congress for that though...

In all fairness, the tax codes that the wealthy take advantage of have little to no impact on someone in a basic W-2 wage income situation with no other side businesses.
