While I agree with the basic premise of cracking down on barter trading, I can't help thinking that this is just another Commucratic "Let's all hate the rich" piece. Where are the facts behind this "millions of American business owners?" What percentage of these barterers stand up against the tens of millions of honest business owners? What's the percentage in DOLLARS? Surely a more reputable company that pays hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes cannot be compared to this guy who owes just tens of thousands.
And actually...the reason corporations are moving overseas is because they're already being bled dry in taxation by the Government.
Furthermore, if the Imperial Government would actually implement H.R.25 (the Fair Tax) this guy couldn't skate off without paying his share of taxes with all the luxury items he bought.
Then again...it's not about the little guy...it's about sticking it to the big guy that matters.
