You can't pay taxes with rabbits and hand made clothes.

There are neither income taxes nor property taxes to be paid on rabbits or handmade items.

I don't think there are any jurisdictions that are free of property taxes. How would you pay those?

The idea of the commons was, property that was everybody's. Today's equivalent might be a state or national park. So, forage in the State Park for rabbits while you wait for a better job.
