> what would happen if we treated people as corporations

You'd rename line items and move on. Companies can't deduct any expense. The chief ones are things they've already paid tax on, e.g. wages subject to payroll and purchases subject to sales taxes.



Uh, isn't that exactly like it is for people? They pay taxes on income and VAT
