IMHO, the absolute worst thing about this bill is that it let’s the camel’s (government’s) nose under the tent of all private schools and home schoolers. If this thing should pass, the government could soon be telling private schools what they can and cannot teach.
You are exactly right; that is what a VOUCHER would do, and that is why Ron Paul is opposed to vouchers.
This allows taxpayers to write off education expenses up to $5,000, with a dollar-for-dollar refund (instead of just a deduction).
Big difference.
