Yeah, and it was a (mass) simple refusal to pay which actually took out the Poll Tax - eventually. I can't see this arousing the same level of antipathy though - particularly if they subsidise the cost, hiding it in taxes instead of letting people see it out in the open.
The penalties for non-compliance are quite severe, as I recall... I wonder how many people will really be willing to risk that much on a matter of principle, rather than shelling over their 30 (?) quid and getting it over and done with.
