Giving out vouchers for the whole cost is stealing money from other taxpayers -- and in a lot of districts, small businesses pay a big share of those taxes, so you'd think small business owners would be vehemently opposed. Of course, any taxpayer w/out children in school is subsidizing those vouchers. Why can't people think these things through ?
