I support the platform of Mr. Cruz:

Becoming energy self-sufficient,
repealing every word of Obamacare,
making health insurance personable and affordable,
a simple flat tax,
abolishing the IRS,
securing the borders,
standing for the first amendment rights of every American,
defending the sanctity of human life,
upholding the sacrament of marriage,
protecting the right to keep and bear arms,
protecting the privacy rights of every American,
repealing every word of Common Core,
embracing school choice of public, charter, Christian, parochial and home schools,
standing with the Nation of Israel (standing ovation),

I think that most states already allow the varieties of school choice you list. The problem now is that no public money can be made available to certain of those categories, particularly the religious ones. Of course with the IRS abolished that would no longer be an issue. Years ago when I read Cong. Linder’s flat tax bill, all 65 pages, there was no provision regarding the taking of money earned in the US outside the country. One can certainly imagine the very rich taking large amounts of money out of the US, buying fantasy retreats overseas, and stocking them with high priced art, furnishings, boats, and cars. Thus, very little of the flat tax money being paid in the US on what they earned here. So once again the worker bees would be providing them with the honey, but paying tax on much of what they would need to buy locally.
