And as I said, the 24th Amendment was enacted because of unequal treatment. What is unequal about charging everyone the same percentage of taxable income to acquire a voting card? The is not the same as the poll taxes that it looked to eliminate.

If the card is given to you for free, someone else is just paying the "tax" if you and others want to classify the cost as a poll tax. 

The inequality of a uniform percent was explained to you by Matt early on in the thread, so I won't reinvent the wheel there, but I will say that the courts have deemed any paid voting/ID card to constitute a tax. Doesn't matter if it's not the same as the poll taxes of Jim Crow America, it's a tax. It's like how modern firearms are covered by the 2nd Amendment even if they're not the firearms the founders sought to protect.

I know you try to downplay court decisions by saying things like "if you and other want to classify", but this is what the courts have said.
