Poll taxes are regressive with respect to income, meaning the higher someone's income is, the lower the tax is as a proportion of income: for example, a $100 tax on an income of $10,000 is a 1% tax rate, while $100 tax on a $500 income is 20%. Its acceptance or "neutrality" depends on the balance between the tax demanded and the resources of the population. Low amounts generally go unnoticed, while high amounts may generate tax revolts such as the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England and the 1906 Bambatha Rebellion against colonial rule in South Africa.However, both of those cases were additional taxation, and not a substitute for other taxes being lowered.
There are no poll taxes, Comrade.
Well, maybe in your native China, CCP Bot-Hole, but not in America.
