an ordinary working stiff CANNOT deduct commuting costs.

I am not sure that he can, although I am willing to be corrected. My
understanding is that the COMPANY can, but that is then viewed as income
or at least part of his pay package. I *THINK* he (or she) might
actually be taxed on that.
However since I don't have this particular perk, I am not 100% sure
(g).


why is that fair?

this is just a small but specific example of how the rules of the game are
slanted to help the very rich get richer...
