It was however given official sanction when the Department of the Environment sent a leaflet to every household entitled "The Community Charge (the so-called 'Poll Tax')". A Poll Tax is a tax levied at the same rate on every individual and the Community Charge essentially fits within that definition. It was therefore a Poll Tax. that seems to me to be a parrotdox. If we were to take 1000 zlotys from each Polish wannabe migrant who posts to u.l.l THAT would be a Pole Tax |
