As a geolibertarian, I advocate equal taxes on all income: zero.
Geolibertarians oppose all taxes on things that aren’t aggression: honest income (wages, interest, dividends, profits, gifts, and inheritance), clean production (including value added), consensual transactions (e.g. the sale, import, or export of goods and services), and fairly-acquired wealth (e.g. real estate improvements, capital, or other produced assets).
Geolibertarians favor taxes/fines only on aggression — e.g. polluting, depleting, congesting, or monopolizing the commons. In practical terms, this means

- policing negative externalities through green pricing (e.g. pollution taxes)
- protecting unowned natural resources with severance fees
- financing club goods (e.g. highways, bridges, pipes, wires) through usage/congestion fees
- financing public goods (e.g. streets, flood control, national defense) by taxing the extra land value they create
