I have nothing against competition between schools. If there is a way to make public schools compete, Im all for it. I just dont favor privitization of the entire elementary school system.

But if the republicans insist on vouchers, and they pass, then my next gripe (yes I do have one suprise) is that the voucher is enough money to actually send a kid to a private school for a year. Weve got this nutcase in Ca that is advocating vouchers and the dollar amount is $700 for the year or something like that. You cant send a kid to a decent private school for that. How can anybody that promotes this bogus concept live with themselves is what I want to know.

I would guess that private universities probably also are exempt from local income taxes and property taxes.

You're right. Non-profit educational and religious institutions such as churches or colleges don't pay property tax. As for income tax, they are non-profit, i.e. non-income.
