Let me get this straight: teachers can only write off $300 in out-of-pocket expenses for school supplies, but “three-martini” business lunches are fully tax deductible for corporations. Hello?

@rbreich

Your main point that teachers should not have to pay for supplies is solid.

But OK, I’ll get you straight. 3-martini lunches lost half of their tax deductibility in 1986. In 2017, they lost the rest.

@rl @rbreich Meals are 100% deductible for 2021 and 22 if purchased at a restaurant.

Well dang, I should have been having more martinis!

Thanks for setting me straight
