    What they’re saying is that it is bullshit for a corporation to dodge taxes on their expenses (no matter how frivilous) but normal people can’t deduct necessary expenses.

    You can deduct your rent. You can’t deduct your food. You can’t deduct your vehicle to get to the job you’re getting taxed to do.

      It’s not “dodging”, and your bills would be a lot more expensive if the government insisted on billing companies by their revenue instead of profit.

      But you shouldn’t be paying any income tax if you barely make ends meet.
