There were many ways to get around / avoid that penalty written into the law.

Aside of exemptions based on low income or it causing 'financial hardship' there was even an exemption just for being a muslim... Not joking here. They actually wrote that shit into the law.

Don't want to pay the tax? - Claim to have muslim beliefs and be exempt...
