Do you understand why businesses couldn’t pay tax on revenue?
In the made up numbers you presented?
When you earn an income from a job, you pay tax on the profit after you’ve deducted your costs
This is a false statement. I do not get to deduct the costs of my food, babysitter, drink, transportation, clothes etc. I should be able to deduct all my costs like a business does. A business gets to deduct ALL their costs. Every single penny.
You’re just getting confused because the tax is automatically taken out every pay.
No I am not. I should be able to deduct every penny I need to survive just like a business does.
Those are not costs associated with your job, that’s why you can’t deduct them.
A business gets to deduct “all” its costs because all the costs are associated with the business. There are laws around this, and no, not everything can be deducted.
In the made up numbers you presented
Yes, that’s how examples work. Do you think the numbers are “wrong”? The prices and margin that I gave for a PC build are very reasonable and realistic.
Answer my questions from my example. Last chance then you’re blocked as you’re clearly not capable of intelligent debate.

They are associated with my job because if I don’t have them I can’t do my job.

See above. If I don’t eat I can’t do my job.

I think your example is silly. There is no reason we can’t have the exact same tax structure for businesses as we do for individuals. We could set up tiers etc. If people somehow are able to stay alive despite being taxed on revenue and having no relief whatsoever for their living costs so can businesses.

Oh my god. Some rando on the internet on a web site ten people use is going to block me because I don’t buy into his ideology. Whatever shall I do? I will be so despondent!
I answered your question multiple times. It’s just that your zealotry and inability to think outside the box causes you to reject the answer.
You didn’t answer it. You didn’t explain how a business can pay tax on revenue without going bankrupt since the tax rate is significantly higher than almost every companies profit margin.
I did answer it. I answered it two ways. One was that we could adjust the rates and tier them like we do for people. The other is that we could keep it the same but give the same benefits to people.
You don’t like either answer so you keep lashing out like a child and throwing a tantrum and threatening me with futile useless gestures.
Grow up and act like an adult.
If a business gets to deduct their rent so should I. if a business gets to deduct their utilities so should I. if a business gets to deduct their mortgage so should I. If a business gets to depreciate their equipment and appliances so should I.
It’s a simple fucking answer but you just don’t like it because you think businesses should be taxed less than you and me.

You can’t because they prove you wrong.
I answered it multiple times. You just don’t like the answer.
What you are really saying is “agree with me”
You didn’t answer it. You didn’t explain how a business can pay tax on revenue without going bankrupt since the tax rate is significantly higher than almost every companies profit margin.

Businesses aren’t people. Revenue isn’t personal income.
You’re comparing apples to oranges.
I don’t care if businesses are not people. That’s not the topic. The topic is why they get to deduct expenses that I am not allowed to deduct.
