Different systems with different means.

WHY should YOU be able to get some of your school tax money back for taking your kid some place else, while the guy with NO KID, me, STILL HAS TO PAY tax money to support our public schools.
If YOU get a voucher for not having your kid in public schools, then I damn well better get a voucher for not having ANY kid in public schools. Quote: |

YOU CHOSE private school.
Why should the rest of us have to give you special privileges for YOUR choice? Quote: |

And more to the point, nobody is saying you can't take your kids to private school.
It's just that you can't take your money from the PUBLIC school in order to do so. "(Gay marriage) is a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish."
