Actually, since a business can deduct all of the operating costs,
including all of the salaries (and taxes on those salaries) it pays,
your point here is obscure.  Are you implying that the taxpayer pays
the salaries at Joe Blows Paint Shop, since Joe can deduct the
salaries?  By the same token, the taxpayer bears the burden of Joe
Blow's new grease gun, since he can also dedust that.
