In their defense, they are just providing the official answer to the the question. If the IRS ever got return that actually LISTED a bartered cow they would probably blow it up and frame it as a once in a countrys lifetime event! That'd be right there with reporting out-of-state (including mail/internet order) purchases for "use tax" (if sales tax wasn't already paid) on a state tax return. Sure, it's required by law, but most people don't even know about it, let alone do it.

Zero per cent income tax (individual and corporate)
One per cent national sales tax (to keep the lights on)
Some tarriffs and excises
All other government “income” comes from voluntary contributions

An easier way is for states to halt the Federal Government from taking taxes directly from its citizens. The state would collect those taxes and hold them in escrow. If the Federal Government starts getting uppity, the state simply does not release the tax’s he;d in escrow. THAT would give each state tremendous power and put power back directly into the hands of the people of each state.

Again, you can only deduct medical expenses once they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income...That should be a breeze for a lot of folks after ObamaCare kicks into high gear.

An urban legend. A doctor would not prescribe sex and especially not sex with a prostitute.
You can handle that job by yourself.
