The author of this article begins to link a rise in corporate profits to cut-backs in education. Though the link is not clear here, it is useful to compare numbers. Funding for education has been decreasing even while the economy has been growing modestly. Corporate profits, however, have risen significantly.
One thing is clear -- corporations could be taxed more. Education funding is still done primarily at the local level as is appropriate under our American system. So the real question is: What are corporations doing, if anything to shore up local business. I think we all know the answer to that: essentially nothing. Being that large corporations are focused on their own health, they are not interested in shoring up any local competitors. Can anyone deny this?
