I thought that your original post was on point, started a thoughtful discussion thread and now see my error…I clearly made a mistake.
Please accept my apology for wasting everyone’s time.

I disagree. The corporation gets to deduct the cost of inputs including my labor to arrive at a profit.

When you exchange things of equal value there is no profit. My labor being equal to the dollar amount paid is not profit. Profit is selling something over the value of its inputs.

Your position assumes that my labor has no value as an input therefore my wage is 100% pure profit.

@ILoveAmericaNews Why does the corporation only pay taxes on profits and the individual pays on income? If my labor is of equal value to my wages, which by definition it must be, then the individual makes no profit by working for an income.

@ILoveAmericaNews

This is so oversimplified and indicative of the sorts of talking point politics that we engage in far too often. The intellectual laziness still astonishes me.
