One slight correction to your text: Merchants Barter Exchange is not an internet-based nor online barter company, we have a live, hands on brokerage to process all the trades for our national members. We are very, VERY different to the new, web-based companies out there. We are one of the very few national barter companies that transacts all our trades on a 100% barter basis, offers a true cash alternative, does not allow cash-barter blends, nor price gouging or inflation. Simply put, we have a barter system that works for business owners of any size. No offense taken, just wanted to make a point of clarification. I found you piece very entertaining. Shannon,

Bartering should not be taxed. If taxation can be avoided by simply saying that neither party expected something in return, the tax was ridiculous in the first place. get the government's hand out of your pocket, force them to decrease spending and lower taxes. Vote Ron Paul in your state's primary/caucus. if the IRS had its way, everything would be taxable. Bartering should not be taxed.
