Reply #145: vouchers: Trojan Horse for the rich [View All]

[Lerkfish]

essentially, in a nutshell: it permits the rich to remove their taxes from the public school system and invest it in a private school.
this puts more money in the rich man's pocket, since he was going to pay for private school anyhow, but NOW he doesn't have to pay taxes to public school

The end result: bankrupting public schools for the middle and lower class and subsidizing elite schooling for the upper class.

the dispicably thing is that they are selling it as its opposite (another example why you should look at what republicans say and believe the exact opposite) -- they claim its to help the lower class.

The ONLY way public school survives is by spreading the tax burden around. If instead, they only receive funds from attending children, they cannot continue, period.
