I knew this would come up as an issue. I figure it this way. If you're ready to invest You can't have your cake and eat it too. I would be willing to go No taxes, if you have no profit for the first So many years but after that you need to be taxed on Gross. And you cannot incorporate and reincorporate to avoid taxes . This is why our tax system is so complicated.There is no real Good solution for everyone. Maybe the tax system we have now is the best.
still seems like there would be problems - I know of many small businesses who's gross income is well over a million, but after their expenses like payroll, rent, utilities and equipment they have very little left - - also all of the employees are being taxed on their income which is the payroll - so if you taxed the gross it would be getting taxed both when the employer got it and then again when the employees got it - - - - I am all for eliminating deductions, but taxing money that the business does not even keep seems excessive
