scerruti , 1 month ago @rbreich Let's balance this out in terms we can really understand. The total tax deduction available to teachers for supplies is $1,000,000 (3.2 million teachers at $300) The total bonus compensation for Wall Street is $31,680,000,000 (180,000 employees) The total bonus for all Wall Street employees 32 times greater than the amount of tax deductions given to teachers for classroom supplies. But that's really an average bonus, I bet it's heavily skewed towards the top.
