[quote:Real list:MV8xNzAxNjc4XzI4MTIyMjExXzgwQjE1RkU4] [quote:FilledHeart:MV8xNzAxNjc4XzI4MTIxMDkxXzU5NTlBRTYw] The funny thing is I am not talking about currency or money exchanged for goods. I am taking about traded goods and services. How can they tax someone for there time and energy or someone bought goods. [/quote] It's called income tax. It does not matter the form of the income. Example, you shingle a roof for a dentist and he fixes you teeth, you both are supposed to report the VALUE of the service you were comensated for, even if the comensation was in the form of another service. I don't write the law, but that is what the law says. Don't like it? Contact your congressman and senator and the white house. Something you maybe overlooked is forming co-ops. You form a group, pool your money and make purchases (food usually) in bulk at a discount, then divide it among the members. Maybe buy potatoes in 50 or 100 pound sacks, or rice or similar items that have a large part of their cost in packaging. Or buy beef or pork by the side or a whole carcass, have it butchered or have members do that, and split it up. [/quote]
Original Message
In these difficult times, I think we need to put in place a Bartering System or time bank.
For all those that are unemployed, hungry, no place to
live. We are all useful in some way or another. It is time to take back the old ways of being able to live without corporate greed. We need to open our hearts and our lives to those who are really in need.
I would love any thoughts and feedback.
Looking for any feedback. Webpage knowledge, ideas. Anything that will help all of our brothers and sisters in need. This is a great way to help everyone.
If we all were to help each other in this it could be amazing.
This is a honest idea and comes from the heart.
God Bless and much love.
