Something needed for basic survival being taxed should be cause for violent revolution and the taxing agency relegated to the proverbial ash heap of history. Your author moseyed down to a backwards area of the USA where hovels can be purchased for $20,000 and the yearly property taxes are often in the 100 to 200 bucks per year range. Of course, the accustomed-to-luxury non-working-poor crowd would shudder at the though of hovel living. At least the shanty keeps the rain off one's head and the walls and doors and plywood over the windows slows down the intruders though the jack-booted thugs invading yet another wrong abode are seldom slowed down what with the immense array of equipment at their disposal (your tax dollar at work).

Maybe the cost of living will be cheaper. I am moving to another city here soon. The cost of living for this city is a little bit more and even though I'm getting a raise it is still very expensive to pay for items in that city. I’m down with moving to a new planet as well.
