Bring Back the Barter System
 
The citizens of the US need to bring back the Barter System.

It avoids paying taxes to a government that spends it on countless things that never benefit the folks paying. The less cash you need, the less income you need, the less income tax gets paid. The less you buy, the less sales taxes you lose. The individual retains 100% of their own value in both directions of the trades. It would encourage bringing small scale productions back to service needs, and would benefit most everyone outside of big cities.


City slickers can work themselves to death and pay most of their money in taxes to their owners, since there are no resources in city to develop or use as raw materials.

There are a number of Barter Websites on line, but towns need a meeting place with a bulletin board to list what is being bartered.

If they were limited to tax money that would work but it's not the case. They're spending imaginary money, aka debt.

Yep. I said this long ago.

It is sort of what ebay started out as. Then they tried to make it Amazon.

Someone needs to set up an ebay style page where you list what you have and what you want. You may have to make a few steps to get there (thinking about the paper clip for a house barter story.)

Cool idea. We could call it Aero's List. :thumbs:

I barter frequently. I also give clients a cash discount...
