Well, I dunno. There's always a few sleazebags at the upper end of
the scale, doing cash deals, reporting enough income to keep the
auditors off and cooking the books. You have them everywhere. And
country people, do a little farming or woodcutting, get seasonal jobs,
odd jobs at the sawmill or fish plant, do some trucking, whatever.
People like that sell some firewood to a neighbor or a couple of
shoats to the guy down the road or replace an engine in an old truck
for somebody in the back yard, it never gets into the books.
I don't personally know any of the former (although I knew such a guy
in rural Massachusetts 40 years ago). Maybe I just don't get out and
around enough.
Big wad of cash, big house, big dogs, lotsa guns -- sounds like Texas
to me. :-)
