The Other Vouchers

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I oppose school vouchers on the grounds that the state should not be involved in education. If vouchers were implemented, they would be counterproductive to the cause of school choice, because the state will now have control over private education. Charter schools and homeschooling sound like better alternatives.

I agree.  But I go further in saying that, since the government IS involved with education, people shouldn't get money back if they don't want to use the government system.  We don't do this with SS or Medicare, so why with schools?

I oppose all three systems, as any consistent fiscal conservative would. Apparently you think it is alright for the government to steal from you so long as they offer you something for free.

No - I oppose the others as well.

EDIT: I didn't say I opposed SS and Medicare, since I figured it was just understood on the forum that I do.
