 Let's do IRS legal definitions:

"person" [26 USC 7701(a)(1)] - commercial entity and/or their employees

"trade or business" [26 USC 7701(a)(26)] - the performance of the functions of a public office

"employee" [26 USC 3401(c)] - an officer, employee, or elected official of the United States, a State, or any political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia, or any agency or instrumentality of any one or more of the foregoing. The term “employee” also includes an officer of a corporation

All of which are misapplied to 99.9% of men/women in the US to make you think the tax code applies to you 
 I’ll accept a lesson on this , sure does look like words and meanings can be updated  by your government to extract more taxes. This does actually make me quite sangry 🧡 
 Unfortunately, that's just the tippy top of the iceberg. It's prevalent throughout the legal system and not just in America. 
 Srs though , the IRS? fuck the IRS 💯
