The productive class vs the parasite class.
That is because the jets and yachts are company provided and the company writes it off as an operational expense. You know, as schools should be doing with school supplies teachers need to do their job.
Companies also don't require their employees to bring their own desk and chair... I know.. do t give them any ideas.. and probably some scumbag employers did this anyway.
This is separate from the fact if companies should be allowed to expense luxury items... Like yachts and jets..
In my opinion, companies shouldn't be allowed to expense anything. The entire concept is pointlessly complicated and only serves to favor businesses that can afford to hire teams of accountants. The law doesn't encourage any kind of value adding on the slightest, it's just a game to save money.
That would basically guarantee that no new business ever survives.
Companies shouldn’t be paying taxes at all. Just tax the people who own the companies directly based on the value of their shares.

So many people think "tax deductible" literally means you subtract it from your taxes.
Might as well be, if they use it for work it counts. My boss bought a luxury RV for our company, he's the only one whose ever used it but technically there is a contract if a customer wants to rent it. Not that anyone was ever instructed to actually shill it.
That means it's a business expense, not that you can literally deduct 100% of it from your taxes.

Teachers shouldn’t have to buy their own supplies out of pocket to begin with.
Apart from anything else, why should teachers have to buy the tools to do their job?
I read that should as shouldn't and damn near had a ragefart.
They shouldn't. Education is critically and routinely underfunded because dumb people vote conservative.

Because for decades teaching has been marketed as ‘a calling’ not a job. People say things like, ‘teachers do what they have to’ or ‘no one goes into teaching for the money’ or ‘you might be the only person in some of these kids lives that care for them.’ These kind of phrases allow higher ups to continually slash teaching budgets while convincing teachers that they must fill the shortfall because of they don’t, who will? It’s bullshit.
People are in for a rude awakening after republicans get rid of public schools. You think buying your own supplies is expensive — wait until you get the bill for going to private school.
Don't worry, we'll all be too busy reacting to actually take the time to reflect and learn something.
It's because Republicans really like the unwashed masses they're easier to manipulate.
"Oh, you can't afford to send your child to school? Well the coal mines are always hiring if you need to get them out of the house."
Soon, an editorial headline:
Americans' bills are piling up; could chattel children be the answer?
See also: Republicans have repealed child labor laws, but is that really a bad thing?

rich neighborhoods often pay $200+ per student per year for supplies.
poor neighborhoods just get by without supplies
The system working as intended
Yup, not a bug, a feature.
