Everyone is interpeting the comic wrong, shitty title most likely.
Lions = billionaires
Gazelle = workers
Why do the workers need education? To be taught to accept their place in the food chain. It's about propaganda, not taxes.

ah yes, refuse to fund the schools with taxes and let the religious institutions do it. This is why Americans are generally thought of as 'well-educated' on the world stage.

the lions here aren't the government they're corporations
its funny how it works both ways. I could easily see this comic on an right-wing facebook page in the USA in favor of 'school vouchers'
Americans are nowhere near the top anymore, on any recent metric Iβve heard.
Thatβs because you have to use imperial to measure American success ;)
They're not first in school shootings?

how did you get a third hand
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 glossed over the tax implications and went straight to the indoctrination of the masses into the ideals of capitalism
I mean on one hand I agree with you. But on the other I don't think you need to be a "tax professional" to have a valid opinion on taxes.
Like I'm sure you express opinions you are not a leafing expert on right?
I'm surprised you think it's the tax deductions that are the issue here.
One of the first things to do with complex and nuanced topics is to express them in comics.
Be warned to anyone who might go check this out.
This is a #VERY NSFW comic.
What is this Libertarian bullshit doing here?
"corporations shouldn't be allowed to have influence over what content is taught in schools" is "libertarian bullshit"?
Corporations collect taxes?
No but they "donate to their local community" to get tax deductions / write offs
Let me ask you something: Do you think that when corps donate, they get MORE in tax savings than they put in for donations?
For the most part people don't understand tax deductions and how they work, but this is true in the case of "donations in kind" of assets that are either overvalued or were going to be disposed of anyways.
The ideal charitable donation disposes of something you were going to have to pay to get rid of, generates a tax deduction, and makes you look good at the same time.
Perfect example is bogus environmental projects like building a reef out of old tires. It's win/win/win until everyone finds out that something in the tires actually kills fish
no obviously not that's not how tax deductions work
similarly to how i'm against corporations being able to donate to politicians, i'd be against corporations being able to donate in such a way that they could influence the school syllabus even if it literally cost them more than the recipient got
Where did it mention taxes?
