I can't believe your property taxes are so low, how in the world can your state govt. function with such low property taxes..? Do you have a big sales tax on food, etc...? They must be getting money from somewhere, or else have one heck of a small budget..!!
We do have a state income tax and a sales tax of 6%. Some municipalities have an added sales tax amounting to usually .5 to 2 percent.

In my situation this works out generally pretty good, as I don't have enough reportable income to pay state income tax, I raise a large percentage of my food and I do most of my general purchases online to avoid having to drive into town. All in all, it works out rather well for me.

I also have a good deal worked out with a couple of pawn shops to buy the silver that they take in at the melt price, and I'm not required to pay sales tax on it.

BTW, pawn shops can be a good place to buy silver. Generally they end up sending it to a buyer that pays them below spot price, plus they have to go through the hassle of packing it up and mailing it. By selling it to me at melt price they are saving time, effort, and getting more money for it. Plus I get the silver cheaper than I can usually buy it elsewhere. :D

Lucky you have a pawn shop that will sell you it for cheap. We only have one pawn shop in our whole county. And they keep every thing. And sell it for high prices. But they give you a very very small amount when you pawn it or sell it to them.

Example:
They buy a DVD for .25 cents.

They sell it for $4.00


I took a old platinum and diamond ring in. They were going to give me $50 for it. When it was just appraised at $2,000! I know I will never get that much for it. But geez, $50 bucks.. LOL

Koxxx, sounds like you got a nice setup for an SS person. Sounds like just about zero services available, but then you don't pay anything for them. That's pretty darn fair.

Why do you mention the very small % of people in this country that buy illicit drugs. They make up a very small % of our population and have a nil effect on anything. Everything else you said is very close to the way I feel about those topics.
