Ok, but if you have a group of people that are making a car payment out of their income, and one person is allowed to not have that car payment removed from their check, you've given them something. IOW, you're not taking payment from them for the car they are receiving.
How would it be any different for taxes? people and businesses receive services for their taxes. If one company is not required to pay those taxes, you given them something (police and fire services, trash pickup, roads, etc) by not taking something (tax money) from them.
Yet some would say that not having to pay taxes wouldn't be considered as receiving a benefit.
Because you dont own the car (until you pay for it). You DO own your wealth. It wasnt given to you by me not taking it. Lets call it semantics or relativity.
