    You’d be shocked. There’s a “garage sale” down from where I grew up that’s been going on since the 80s and is run by one of those folks. He only takes cash (hell, he might take gold too for all I know).

    It’s literally like a single booth flea market and that guy hasn’t had another job in years.

      Huh. I wonder if I should do something like. Just a year round garage sale.

        He’s not really “in town”. But he’s definitely breaking tax laws. I would bet anything in the world that he’s in one of these groups telling people he hasn’t paid taxes in the last 40 years and if others are paying then they’re suckers.

          Gotcha. I do wonder with these folks about property taxes. And sales tax I suppose but the not paying the property tax would get them run out of their house…
