Vouchers are all about giving people choice...the current system of government schools only allows the rich true choice...those able to pay taxes AND choose the school their children attend.

I remember a speech given by then Congressman Sonny Bono during an education funding bill's discussion. He ranted...and ranted well, pointing out that not one congressman sent his children to a public school. Not one, including himself. The rant went on, including the idea that the rest of the people in the country should be allowed the choices that they in Congress had.

It'll never happen...the Teacher's Union is too strong, has too many politicians as lapdogs...
