Al,

Gee, that's not the typical conservative screw_thy_neighbor approach, is it? You want John to pay his full share of the bill, even though he has no kids in the system (sounds like income re-distributioin to me) and give brian the freedom to opt out and get a voucher (brian being a fictitious person with a kid in the system, and john with none)!!

Wouldn't it be the republican way to return the savings to people like john who have no kids in the system? I guess some things need to be socialized after all (not the least of which is a child, by the way).


I haven't heard a republican or a conservative contradict the idea that all kids have access to education (including the poorest ones who's parent can't affort to purchase education by themselves). The funds need to be raised for that through taxation of some kind.

The disagreement is about how to allocate these funds to kids. The left has this mantra that the child has to submit to education by public education monopoly to see a dime of these funds. Republicans and conservatives disagree.
