Bartering occurs when you exchange goods or services without exchanging money. An example of bartering is a plumber doing repair work for a dentist in exchange for dental services. You must include in gross income in the year of receipt the fair market value of goods and services received in exchange for goods or services you provide.

The system is setup very tightly. If they didn't have income tax, they would simply find something else to tax you through. Government hasn't changed in thousands of years.
