see, i dont' understand how it would be taxable and illegal if caught. i own a laundry business, you are a farmer. i launder your clothes for a bunch of vegetables. how do you tax that? why would that be illegal if i just threw your clothes in the wash and you gave me some spinach?

i don't see the favors and hook-ups you get in the military as bartering. the supply guy has some extra glow plugs for your broken humvee that is redlined. he needs some camo nets for an upcoming change of command inventory. you trade. to me, that's not bartering, but maybe i'm just fucked up in the way i see things.
