Like I said before, I'm sure barter could be an effective technique for
getting away with tax evasion. My point, however, was that simply using
barter instead of cash changes nothing at all about the legality of failing
to report any given transaction. If you want to give it a try that's
certainly your call, but less intrepid souls should be aware of the fact
that simply avoiding money doesn't exempt them from prosecution.
