>Why do corporations get to deductions and do so much tax magic that individuals don't?

Individuals can do deductions if they're a sole proprietorship. The requirement in general is that the expense is used for a business purpose. Buying a laptop for personal consumption isn't tax deductible, but buying it for your consulting business is.



Isn't that proving my point you change laws based on what you do with your money and where you get it from.

If so data centers should also be separately booked for their electricity consumption.
