Because you’re not a business.

I know. That's not relevant.

None of those are costs associated with your job.

If I don't eat, if I don't have a place to live, if I can't use electricity or water or sewer I can't do my job.

If you didn’t have your job you would still be paying for those things.

If I didn't have a job I wouldn't be paying rent or utilities right?

Do unemployed people not need to eat?

how do they eat? Where do they get the money to eat? Do they pay taxes on that money?

As always, missed the point.

You need to eat and pay rent even when you don’t have a job, therefore they’re not costs related to your income.

How do I eat and pay rent if I don't have a job?

That requires money right?

Where do I get that money?

Do I pay taxes on that money?

Do I need to eat and stay alive in order to get that income?
