Brilliant. The financial hoi palloi also don’t seem to notice that their revenues are deemed income for tax purposes while for corporate persons revenue remains revenue and is untaxed. Corporate persons only pay taxes when they fail to ensure that there is no income at the end of the year. If only the rest of us could treat investments in couches and Xboxes as capital expenditures!

That's because a person can consume food, entertainment, etc., but a corporation can't. It's strictly a entity that passes on profits to its owners.
