Probably not, but it is a start.<BR/><BR/>Is this some conspiracy to merely give breaks to the rich while fooling the people that this will help the poor?

I think they are a great idea in areas where the schools are failing. I actually think tuition tax credits are an even better idea if parents really want true choice in how their education dollars are spent. They provide more freedom and flexibility and there isn't the same chance a tuition tax credit program would be ruled unconstitutional that we will run into if the voucher program is approved by voters in November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
