Bartering services crop up amid tight access to cash
Christopher Fuentes, a self-described "computer geek" from Massapequa Park, first got the idea to barter his computer know-how when the stock market crashed in the fall and newly unemployed friends were asking him for lessons.

That's the idea! Now we all can work for food! This is how we can make America great and competitive again in this global economy. Just think that no one can beat us in wages when we're bartering our work for food.
This will end all the outsourcing and insourcing of all our jobs. This should also help to bring the current high unemployment figure down a notch. |

When will Uncle Sam figure a way to close the Tax Free loophole of Bartering?
They need their cut, we all know that |

Between bartering and dealing in cash, more-and-more Americans will learn how to keep as much of their money as possible. This is the what the government needs to expect as they unfairly tax the working to support the shiftless. People are willing to pay their fair share, but with bailouts for the rich and handouts to the poor, the entire program is unfair and getting worse every day.

"First, this guy with a pickup truck said,'I really can't afford it, I just lost my job, but I want to get the rims painted. Will you accept a laptop?' and I said,'OK,' " said Kolenovic,
let me get this straight...a guy who lost his job is trading in his laptop to paint the rims on his crap truck? you have got to be kidding me....unless hes too poor to pay for internet, a laptop is probably the most valuable tool for finding a job. i guess he's happy driving around in a truck with "pink" rims...that will be repossessed in 2 weeks...what a loser |

3 Why worry? Let them go F... themselves. What do you think they could do if everyone didn't buy into their game of robbing the public for the corrupt bankers and politicians. |
Add him to the IRS audit list... |

1 You can barter with the Brain Surgeon, maybe he's got a house plant you can sub for. How much is you becoming a Ficus worth to the Doc ? Surgery oughta be paid off in two, three hundred years. |

Daily Horoscope for June 2
Aries
It won't be long before you start to feel bored today, unless you can distract yourself - you're switching from one activity to another. Ideally, you should keep yourself amused by doing something that's unusual or challenging, otherwise you'll be tempted to stir up trouble just to see what happens next! Even though you know that's a bad idea, you won't be able to resist, unless you've got something better to do with your time.
