>>Barter, depending on how it is done, can be taxable<<

Yes, I suspected someone may bring that up.

I simply don’t agree with the concept. Jesus asked to see a coin and asked who’s picture was on it and said to render to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s.

Imagine your Dentist/cabinet maker scenario where the participants deal in no actual greenbacks at all.

How does one that operates on barter render anything to ceasar since he is not involved?

And he is NOT involved in barter, that is for sure.

There are lots of fundamentally bad laws. I ignore them when possible.

"...render to Ceasar what is Ceasar’s."

Wouldn't this lesson be better taught to the deadbeats that make up the bulk of the democRAT voters (not to mention about 1/2 of Obambi's appointees so far)? We, the productive, have certainly given more than our fair share to the collective Ceasar over the years.

I'm not going to argue with you. I agree with you. I'm just pointing out the position the IRS takes.
