Hardly fair .... suppose I should have rioted or refused payment too.
The Poll Tax was wrong Kate, the principle was right the application was totally wrong, if it had have been introduced at £50 per head, still with the safety net for those unable to pay, don't think anybody would have moaned, but at the rate it was introduced it was absolutely stupid, as you say rates aren't fair either but, I doubt anybody will ever find a way of satisfying everybody no matter how they try.
