I debated whether I should post this or not, but, since there is already a firestorm going....<br><br>I think it needs to be re-read. At no point does he say "hire", he says "partner". If company A wishes to partner with company B, they can exchange work. And I don't think the IRS can dictate what companies a company can partner with.<br>
<br>I'm appalled at the reaction this has drawn. I've seen other topics that this list has discussed that are WAY off topic (I've seen people bashing certain political parties, tell me, how does that fit with a list such as this?). This at least was looking for someone to develop software. I'm sure Brian meant no offense, but some of the comments that have followed (up to and including calling him a troll) ARE very offensive.<br>

I'll add two points (along with the statement that I'm not a lawyer);<br>
<br>
I believe (please verify yourself) that barter transactions are<br>
considered taxable income by the IRS. Therefore one could argue that<br>
Brian's is an offer of compensated employment.<br>
