But we need an oppressive instrument of the state to keep the oiks in check.

Here's the deal. People earning less than £50,000 per annum will pay a special police tax which will be used to subjugate them. Those earning more than this amount have no need of subjugation and will therefore be exempt the tax.

Compromise, you see? That's how to do politics.
