He might be expressing admiration for Brutus because he feels that that would be the politically correct thing to do, and will make him look good. Or it is also possible that now that Brutus is dead and no threat to him, Antony is free to admire Brutus's good qualities. It is a further possibility that Antony is being sincere but that in his mind being noble is no compliment; that he is has nothing but contempt for idealists.

What revolutionary use did Augustus Caesar make of taxes?
Augustus reform of the tax system created an efficient, consistent and centralised direct tax collection system instead of relying of the previous system of arbitrary local tributes which were often intermittent and involved corruption on the part of private tax collectors who practiced what has been called tax farming (the collection of taxes in excess of the quota to line one's pockets). This greatly increased imperial revenues and introduced a fairer system of taxation which improved the taxation relationship with the provinces of the empire by ending resentment towards the depredations and cruel manner of tax collection of the corrupt tax farming. Tax farming was also harmful for the economy and discouraged investment. Tax collection became based on the census of the population and the setting of fixed quotas. The new tax collectors where salaried civil servants.
The indirect taxes were a 4% tax of the sale of slaves, a 1% tax on auctioned gold and a 5% inheritance tax on large properties.
Augustus used the tax revenue to embark on extensive public work projects which improved the infrastructure of the empire and of the city of Rome and embellished this city. On his deathbed he said "I found a Rome of bricks; I leave to you one of marble". During his reign numerous new structures were built, such as the Forum of Augustus, the Tempe of Balbus and the Temple of Mers Utor, the Pantheon (a temple dedicated to all gods) the baths of Agrippa, The Arch of Augustus, the mausoleum of Augustus and the Ara Pacis (Peace Altar) and a sundial which used an obelisk brought from Egypt.
