On further reflection, I would simply say that the current tax
structure is OK, except that ALL taxes due for the tax year (no
deductions) should be due in the same week as national elections are
held.

That is you would have to write out a check and file your taxes a few
days before voting.  I am sure it would concentrate the minds of both
voters and politicians wonderfully.
