One dollar annual tax if you’re single and between the ages of 21 and 50

This law, enacted in 1820, taxes a single guy for a buck every year. Milking a single guy for his beer money is just wrong.

missouri is full of stupid laws
I am curios to know how many people in the state are paying that tax.
This was an example of an Early 19th century “poll tax” (i.e. a flat tax per person). Poll taxes were common in the US before income taxes and were all eliminated in the 20th century because they were considered discriminatory against the poor.
