Sure but then that's not really anyone's goal starting a company in Germany. So ultimately you will have to deal with this issues if you don't fancy being homeless.

Profit =|= revenue. You pay taxes on profit, if you invest all you operational profits in, e.g., hyper growth you won't pay any taxes at all.

Let's not touch VAT so.

Payroll is a deductible cost and not taxed as profit

If payroll for you is too high you will learn the words 'verdeckte Gewinnausschuettung' the hard way.
