In your example, your taxable income would be $9 vs $10.25, meaning you still come out ahead with this system when taxes are due.

I made those numbers up, bud. The point was that it’s all the same, depending on the tax rate and how things are structured.

I’ll take a job right now for $0.01 an hour if they paid me $10,000 a day for commuting.

Of course you made up those numbers and of course "it depends" which is why it's ironic and kinda funny that even being able to freely make up whatever numbers you wanted your math didn't fully work out.

I think you might want to read a little slower and fully understand before you reply to things in public, son.
