Which they did with the poll tax. Saying it would be fair for everyone,
which translates into their very rich pals paying less in proportion.

"In proportion" to what?

Are you that thick? The poll tax was a fixed sum paid by everyone.
Replaced a tax based on property value. The result being those in an
expensive property paid the same as those in a slum.

Are you another one who doesn't know the difference between council tax
and income tax?

What I can't understand is how many middle income people get taken in
by it.

Would you charge "da man" more for a TV licence?

The TV licence isn't a tax. You don't have to have a TV - unlike a roof
over your head.
