None of these things, or even the combination of all of these things, allows an individual to shield 100% of their income from taxes, the way corporations shield their income from taxes.
They absolutely do! Earned Income is a refundable tax credit - 47% of all Americans pay no net income tax, and some receive a refund in excess of any taxes paid.
* excluding payroll tax deductions, both personal and employer paid (which is effectively still a tax you're paying). They also pay sales tax, which isn't an income tax per se, but when you have to spend every dollar you make to survive, it might as well be.
If you have enough rolloverloss from one year to another, then you can pay 0%, same as a corporation. In fact, over 40% of people pay zero federal income tax, and a significant amount get lots of govt money, so they’re getting effectively a negative income tax.
The vast majority of corp pay income tax, unless (and this is nearly never many years in a row) they have such tax rollovers from prev year.
Now, they also still pay property taxes, enemployment taxes, half your SS, taxes on goods bought, and a host of other taxes, independent from income taxes.
All your outrage is simply ignorance of how taxes work, and so far you’re wrong about all your unfounded belief. Go read how taxes work, learn to read SEC filings. CBO has detailed solid reports prepared covering all this stuff.
When you think something about taxes is outrageous, it’s going to be because you don’t understand them, and you’ve filled your head with tripe from sources designed to mislead you. Read actual tax law and filings, and all this misunderstanding will go away.
I think it’s outrageous that the IRS doesn’t just compute taxes for us. And I think it’s ridiculous US citizens have to file regardless of where they are.
