You have got to be kidding me. Like there wasn't anything before now? Good luck with that whole line of thinking. It smacks of "I would never get ahead without this government program" -- if that's what you're saying, then you are admitting that it is AOK for taxpayers to fund your private choices.<BR/><BR/>What in the hell is conservative about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680780.post-85345751208379768622007-03-12T12:54:00.000-06:002007-03-12T12:54:00.000-06:00Richard,Vouchers are empowering moms like me to pr...Richard,<BR/><BR/>Vouchers are empowering moms like me to provide an education for my childAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680780.post-36144049256785782552007-03-12T10:57:00.000-06:002007-03-12T10:57:00.000-06:00I fail to see why parents did not have a voice or ...I fail to see why parents did not have a voice or "choice" before the voucher bill was passed. <BR/>You have not been able to come up with any points or facts about "choice". The reason is because parents did have a choice before. Vouchers are about ripping off the middle class taxpayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680780.post-16739654162225817722007-03-12T08:07:00.000-06:002007-03-12T08:07:00.000-06:00There are a lot of good people watching the vouche...There are a lot of good people watching the voucher legislation in Utah, let us hope that it passes to give parents a greater voice in their child’s education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
