We need a flat tax.
You get to write off expenses so that companies that don't make money right away are allowed to continue. If you had to feed a company that was grossing 100k a year and groing but wasn't making money yet, you would increase the barrier to entry for normal people.
You pay tax on the difference and not the gross like in Russia.
