One of the biggest objection to vouchers has been that public taxes

Sorry, but I think public taxes should go to public school systems....




Seeing as "taxes" is a euphemism for "stolen loot", it "should" go
nowhere save straight back to the people who were ripped off, while
those who think they should have a school that I have no use for (in
the same way that I think I should have a new La Crosse
weather-station that you would have no use for) should go out and buy
it with their own money. Oh, and the thieves responsible tarred and
feathered and set alight.



My tax dollars support the public schools, because somewhere in those
public schools is a future dentist, doctor, policeman or policewoman,
or a future biomedical engineer. I may not need any of them today, but
I sure might need them tomorrow.

My tax money is an investment in *my* future health, happiness, and
well-being as well as being an investment in the children of my country.
Not stolen loot - it's a nest egg.




You're directing this logic at someone who advocates having no public
school system--do you really think he will grasp the concept of
investing in society?
