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?
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.
