Comment on What is a "tax write off"?

you can’t just write off anything you want. You only get to write off certain things, but at the end of the day, a tax write off is just a tax deduction for how much you need to pay, in the same way any normal person paying their taxes does. Just like with personal taxes, you can just reduce your tax liability down to 0 if you get enough deductions.
Corporations obviously work differently than for a normal person, but the same basic principle applies.

Personally I think it’s all bullshit. We should be able to write off so much shit as regular people but can’t.
Sure, maybe I make $60,000 a year, but I also spend $5000 in gas to commute to work, $4000 a year in car payments for a vehicle that I primarily use to commute to work, $2000 a year in insurance for said vehicle, and maybe $1000 a year for repairs for said vehicle.
Who’s going to let me write off $12,000 a year for the privilege of getting to my job?
