Here is why vouchers won't work: the courts won't let them. They've been batting a .0000 in the courts to date. If that situation was different, I'd be in support of them.
I'd rather try something that has a chance of being implemented rather than continue to beat our heads against a wall in the courts.
As for mucking up the tax system, I'm missing how increasing the tax exemption or credit for children or having localities send families a check in lieu of providing a "free" education mucks up anything worse than it already is.
I agree with competition in education. The problem is that vouchers haven't proven to be a good way to get there.
