Nothing wrong with the Poll tax, it was just that it dragged in a lot of
young earners who get their services for free and had loud voices. The
Council tax is really unfair to people living on their own.

The Poll Tax was unfair on larger households.

Don't larger households use more services?
More rubbish, more use of libraries, etc.

Its obviously unfair if they pay the same as an single person who makes
no use of most of the services.

The only fair way to do it is to charge for the services as used, lets
call it privatisation.


I can see why the Poll Tax was popular in some circles though since it
shifted taxation from the rich to the poor.



So what's fair about taking £1M pounds in tax off one person and taking
£10 off another?
Tax is always unfair to someone.
