MODERATORS
I'm sure this is going to be a level headed rational discussion about taxes by all the knowledgeable skilled tax professionals in lemmy.
I'm surprised you think it's the tax deductions that are the issue here.
I don't think they're an issue at all.
You don't think corporations having a hand in what children/teenagers/adults learn because of lobbying and donations is a bad thing?
Nope, I'm a proud grad of Joint Carls Jr and Pizza Hut high and corporations should write the regulations because they know all the ins and outs burgers.
You joke, but Carnegie built thousands of libraries across the country in the early 1900s, many of which are still in use today. Over 100 years later, the government never bothered building their own library.
Let that sink in.
Political contributions are textbook examples of nondeductible expenses. Charity contributions are deductible for all taxpayers to an extent. Private schools can be for-profit businesses and have been for quite some time and sometimes they teach controversial subjects. Not sure what relevance that is though. Seems like you should be angry about education policy, not tax policy.
That thing we've been talking about, you're doing it here.
Do you not understand that giving charitable donations in order to sway public opinion to your side is lobbying?
So again: you don't have any problem with corporate influence over what children learn in schools?
