Beautiful property. Definitely a Thoreau existence. I haveca bit more to spend than that, so am looking for some ‘luxury’ items. Running water. Electricity. LOL!
Looks like the taxes are at 2%, maybe a little more. Pretty good for no state or sales tax. I’ll research the tax burden there a bit.
However, I see libertarians as the lesser of evils - so would rather be around conservatives given the chance. Tennessee has all the things a conservative state should, plus people that can be counted on not to vote themselves tax increases. Religious people. Gun toting people. And weather than will work with a self-sufficient lifestyle, if necessary.
LOL!
TN is high on my personal list but is edged out by NH for several reasons.
-TN has been trying to get an income tax for quite some time. They’re going to get one eventually. Gov. Taxquist came within a breath of doing so. With an increasingly diverse and handout reliant population, I don’t see the status quo remaining. Contrast with NH where a Constitutional amendment to forever ban a state income tax was on the ballot recently. It failed as it didn’t get the required 2/3, but it got enough of a vote to make it plain that a personal income tax would not be coming about anytime soon.
-Sales taxes are outrageous in TN as are sin taxes on alcohol. TN still has dry counties. NH has no taxes at all on liquor, and a de minimis tax on beer and wine. Property taxes are better in TN generally speaking, but are very location specific in both states.
-Memphis. Need I say more?
-Super nice people and hard working in TN...but they tend to be in your business. I prefer to be left alone. Church is the center of life in rural TN. Which is a good thing. Not so good if you’re not of the local denomination.
-Gun laws in TN are tolerable, but not in the same league as NH. A bill in NH to limit private sales was heard in NH this year. It failed miserably in the Democrat dominated house. NH is in the running to be the second east coast state to go Constitutional carry (VT has been since early 20th century).
On the plus side, TN has warmer weather.
