The head tax you like was introduced in Scotland, and in the next election all of Major's followers were unseated. It is usually agreed that the poll tax was a major cause of the Conservative defeat.
I think you are a very rich man. Very rich men seem to like poll taxes which bear heavily on the poor. Tell me, please, the number of acres and appraised value of your property. I own 160 acres of farm and forest (no buildings) in Cumberland County, Illinois and pay $400 in tax each year -- mostly for school.
