Corporations pay taxes on profits — the money left over after their expenses, and can write off their losses.
Individuals pay taxes on income — the money before paying their expenses, and can’t write off their debt, with few exceptions.
This is what a rigged system looks like.

AIPAC also knows this. That’s why none of their political ads discuss their actual issue at all and why they use vaguely named Super PACs so people don’t connect them with their own stated political mission and intent.
