182. Actually, vouchers are really a way for the taxpayers to pay
private school tuition for kids whose parents can already afford it. The voucher movement started back in the 60s and 70s, when parents formed private schools for their kids to keep them from having to go to integrated schools. They have the schools they want, the only thing missing is the govt funding.

I think we should use the same 'I got mine, you get yours' argument for vouchers that conservatives use for so many other govt services. Pull yourself up by your own boot straps, work hard, save your money and you too can afford private school for your kid.

Hey it works for welfare and health care, why not education? :)
