Back to Barter
What if we went Back to Barter Exchanging In or not in kind Services for Other Services (or product) ie.. I examine you In exchange For a basket of peaches (Or better still) A bucket of clams Do you realize How many Middlemen Would disappear? I could fire That's it! - Fire! My lawyer My Accountant My Actuary My Insuror
And stop Supporting these Four cottage industries That end up Costing me about 25 cents on Every dollar! Coupled with Another 35 cents On each Buck Remitted to Uncle Sam And to sundry State and local Extractors That leave me On the short end For my efforts To provide Something Of reasonable Worth
For the benefit Of others So be it! 'Tis what it is And it's not Just the money Somehow these Time-infringers Mandate More and more Forms Demanding More and more Of my lessening Amounts of that Precious time That I would Prefer devoting To my job! Will this game Ever change? Unlikely - But How nostalgic!
