My DH's aunt has not paid taxes in at least five years, they still have the house. I know that they are in arrears like $20k.

What about when they go to school? Do kids feel abandoned at school? Are the teachers pedophiles? Are they feeding them lunch at the right time? Is the bus driver a safe driver?

You're taking this as a personal criticism, and it wasn't at all intended that way. I was relaying my life experience, but it doesn't belong in this thread. Please disregard.

My property taxes are only a couple of hundred per year. This is just one example of what I was trying to say to Ivory earlier about different people being in different situations.

So you're saying having money is a bad thing because people might ask you for some (in addition to the government, that is)?
