Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments in an appeal of a 9th Circuit decision, Winn v Garriott, a challenge to one of Arizona’s education tax credit programs. It’s been getting more press than I’d expected, in the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today. That’s great news, because the case is far more important than just saving a program that improves education and expands educational freedom.

glad I saw this and hope the ruling is changed by SCOTUS .
Did I miss something, but it seems like 9th Circus turned something upon it’s head, and if not reversed, we have a Commie State, with the concept of private property abolished!
When you let your government run up this kind of debt, you’re tacitly agreeing to that concept anyway.
Well, I have to confess I didn’t exactly “let” them.
That’s how it sounds to me.
I think that’s what they’ve done ‘to ‘ us. We didn’t exactly let them.
Total federal debt exceeds total money supply (M3b).
So yeah, all money belongs to the state.
They just haven’t gotten around to taking it yet.
they can have the toilet paper version all day long.
All your money Are Belong to State.....
Also known and refered to here in Texas as a load of krap.
As RINOish as Govern Rick Perry might be at times, he would belly laugh off such a suggestion.

The Federal court has no jurisdiction in this matter. The State of Arizona should ignore their lawless edict.
There is no possibility of them actually enforcing a law respecting the establishment of religion as no such law can exist for them to enforce. The same 1st amendment spells that fact out.
If the court wants to act like a bunch of lawless dictators then let us treat them all the contempt due to such dictators by free people.
This ruling isn't anything different from what the IRS has said for decades. The income tax is based on the legal concept of letting you keep some of the government's money, not taking a certain percentage of yours.
A lot of people have gone to jail for not understanding this.
"They assert that tax cuts are the equivalent of government funds, a conclusion possible only if one assumes that all personal income belongs by default to the state rather than to the individual who earned the money. It asserts as well that when taxpayers and parents privately choose to support religious educational organizations, they are in violation of the First Amendment."
Repeal the 16th Amendment and get Caesar out of our pockets.
They are taking it - through inflation.
The Fed’s money printing is happening at *your* expense. Visit your local grocery store for details.
Wait a second...Thats stuff is going to be as valuable as gold...
They can certainly have (all of) it after the fact though...;-)
The 9th Circuit, along with the usual suspects, ASSUME too much sometimes...Well, I take that back...Most of the time...
The left is so afraid of religion. There are plenty of private schools that aren’t ‘religious’. When are they going to stop trampling on my right to freedom of religion?
Passive acceptance is acceptance regardless. This country was founded by folk who understood that -- and accordingly took up arms against "them."
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
