My point exactly. The complaint of people who are opposed to what is being done to local public schools by the federal bureaucracy is that we are paying twice for schools, through property taxes and income taxes and we're also having to pay for our children to get an education since education isn't available through the public schools we're helping to pay for.
Now, as a diversion from our goal of dismantling an unconstitutional and overbearing, wasteful federal department, we have spineless "conservative" politicians wanting us to agree to a new welfare program which will also have the effect of forcing our private schools to accept the little gangsters we're keeping our kids away from by sending them to a private school.
Sure, conservatives who are already sacrificing so their kids don't have to be in public schools should climb aboard the bandwagon of this new welfare deal so we can get a public school education for our kids at private school prices.
There's simply no benefit in this for anyone who has worked to reap a benefit. I won't vote for more welfare. Sorry.

I feel ya but no private school has to participate in the voucher program and the vouchers cannot be used at any school not electing to be in the school choice program. They also can't be used at private schools outside of the city limits. In my state, the Wisconsin Lutheran Synod (the most conservative of the three main Lutheran synods) opted all of their schools out of participating in the program.
