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?

I see.

You'd rather make silly attempts at abuse than try to answer the question.

OK. Let's see what else you say...

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.

No, still no answer as to what you were trying to talk about with the phrase
"in proportion".

And still no answer to the next question:

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.

Then why do you want to charge your imaginary bloated plutocrats more for the
same (or, probably, less) council services than might be provided to a
salt-of-the-earth good ol' boy from down on the estate?
