Taking it out in Trade

Because Case worked for himself, he paid taxes quarterly, always overpaid (that is how the IRS wants it), and they hold the overpayment to go towards the next tax bill.  We received no interest, of course.  In retirement we are still extracting ourselves from that set-up.  In 2012 we will be paying annually. 

The holidays are upon us, and I want to decorate outside before the snow and cold weather.   I decided that I was going into the National Forest across the road and cut some evergreen boughs.  The U.S. Forest Service has restrictions that I followed:  balsam only, more than 50 feet or more from any road or path, and only take the lowest branches.  However, I did not pay the nominal fee ($5).  I figured that Barak owes me.
