MODERATORS
Phrenology is a known pseudoscience debunked by plenty of people smarter than me. I don't need to have an opinion on it because I can and do reasonably rely on the opinions of the experts who debunked it.
The better analogy would be if I sat here arguing FOR phrenology, when I'm not an expert in it, against a neurologist who is presumably far more qualified.
This is a really simple concept and it is dismaying that you still don't understand.
Just so I'm clear, your position is that tax deductions for a behavior don't incentivize that behavior? Making an entity pay less money to do a thing doesn't make them more likely to do that thing? That's your position?
Just answer the damn question, what do you want?? And remember this is all in response to my initial sarcastic comment that this cartoon will lead to level headed reasonable discussion about tax.
The top level comment put it well: this comic is about propaganda not taxes.
Literally even the slightest hint that you're against lobbying in education that results in corporate propaganda being fed to children.
Unfortunately, seeing no issue with tax incentives for that exact thing is a mutually exclusive position to hold.
