merritt, you have explained the marketing arm of the voucher program. the reality will be much different.

i always laugh when politicians say how a reduced flat tax will benefit poor people. let's see, the wealthy will reduce their bill by x amount and so the non wealthy will have their taxes reduced too?

i'm not that dumb.

the marketing and the reality are two different things. this program was not, is not and never has been about helping the poor. this program is designed to 1. reduce the cost of private school for wealthy people and 2. reduce the cost of education for middle class peoiple and screw the rest.

i'm not with that.

poor people still won't be able to afford private school. if no other money is required then EVERYONE will go to private school and then they become public schools.

so, why not just buckle down and work with the public schools? because rich and middle class people don't wan their kids around poor kids.
