        best way to fix this is to tax all businesses at 0 & give them nothing. Then each business will have to make it on their own

        that would be true if the gov't didn't include barter profits (FMV) as income on tax returns.

        Well, if you can show you had no transactions in US dollars then you would have no taxable income
