Are you suggesting that it is more likely that a business owner would cheat on taxes and that we should base tax rates on that assumption? You say: "My point was, as a business owner, you can turn expenses that would be personal and non-deductible for an employee, such as a car lease, into a deductible business expense" You cannot legally "turn expenses that would be personal and non-deductible for an employee" into business expenses. Your point is WRONG. You can write off business expenses PERIOD. If your car is not a business expense you are BREAKING THE LAW if you write it off as one. If it IS a business expense then it can be written off as one. You know what IS means, right? Another morally reprehensible position spewed by many dems that people who are successful are more likely to CHEAT than the less successful members of our society. And I read S-L-O-W-L-Y to make sure that I understood your point. I believe I do understand it. If not, you have laid it out quiet poorly. Scott
