But the example you're responding to does employ people. A surgeon will have to hire a whole host of employees to run his outpatient clinic. Or if she works in a hospital, an entire team will be built around her.
Plus there is the fairness issue. Corporations are just groups of people working together. So why does a single surgeon not get to be treated as the economic growth engine she is, but two surgeons can incorporate and get special treatment?
- nmfisher 6y agoBecause if the surgery/hospital operates at a loss (which they often do), they also get to carry forward those losses to deduct in future years. That's just notionally separate from the salary that the surgeon personally receives from the practice.
- manigandham 6y agoNone of that makes sense. The corporation they work for employs people, and you can start a company by yourself.
