This take sounds clever until you realize running a business isn’t as simple as signing up for Netflix.
Businesses don’t just “deduct stuff” because they feel like it.
They have payroll, insurance, software, contractors, equipment, rent, taxes, legal fees, accounting fees, risk, refunds, chargebacks, slow months, bad clients, and a hundred problems employees never see.
Business deductions exist because those expenses are required to generate revenue.
Your groceries, rent, Netflix, car payment, and electric bill are personal expenses.
You can hate how much we’re taxed and still admit this argument makes zero sense.
The tax system has plenty of problems.
This just isn’t one of them.
