OR, how about he tries to recoup the 70k and fires one of his 10 employees? Now who did that increase help?
Or maybe he just hires an extra employee or two, or invests into his business some other way. Writes off the $70K+ as an expense, and voila, he's all the better for it and in a lower tax bracket again.
