I have never seen a proposal where the individual taxpayer gets to decide where his money goes. Even with vouchers it is the parents of the kids who decide where the voucher money goes.

You also changed the subject somewhat. What happens to the low income kid who has no $ to supplement vouchers? The voucher $ is not enough to pay their tuition. A scholarship is not guaranteed. A scholarship would be like a stop gap measure. It is a pretty incomplete solution.

And even that does little to create a situation where, in Bush's words, "no child gets left behind". Vouchers will hurt inner city schools. Those kids WILL get left behind.
