If I have an apple and I sell it to you, then i have to pay taxes on the mo=
ney you gave me, then you sell the apple to someone else, then you pay taxe=
s, then they sell it, they pay taxes, and they sell it back to me then more=
 taxes.  I make make apple cider and sell that to you, then I go to jail or=
 get a huge fine for selling bootleg alcohol because, yes, I didn't pay the=
 booze tax.

I once read somewhere that trading the apple for a pear is not legal.  Bart=
ering.  Bypassing all taxes. I don't know if that is true or not, and I'm n=
ot smart enough to know how to check.
