Yeah, when you own a business, everything is deductible. I work out of the house now (thanks, recession) but even then, a part of the house is deductible, as is one of the cars, any tool I buy, etc...

When I was last "working for the man", the fed was 28% and the state 9%, then come the myriad of other taxes...

Even with the "self employment tax", it's a sweeter deal...
