GOING GALT VIA FLEA MARKET: Reader Mark Vavra writes:

Met an interesting couple, late 50’s. Decided to sell off assets a few years ago, home, furnishings, all of it. Bought a lovely motor home and small van. Now in Midwest selling a single easy to order/pack item in flea markets, country fairs, etc. Winter, they move down to Florida, Texas, Arizona. When I asked how they liked it; “It’s wonderful no property taxes, no upkeep on home…plus its all cash! (anyone who has worked flea markets understands the value of cash transactions…) The gas is a little high these days, but it hasn’t hurt too much…we love it, shows over, we grill up a couple steaks and go down the road, golf 18 before dark…” Partner saw them this morning…steaks were great and they nearly shot par…

There are a lot of folks like this, but The Who, as usual, saw it coming: Watch the Po-lice and the taxman miss me, goin’ mobile!

And after Tax Cheat Tim Geithner got a pass, who can call them wrong for following The Who’s advice?
