But keep saying it’s about poor people
Whites increased from 40 to 60% and blacks declined 24 to 12%.
For a full voucher, worth 90 percent of what a state would spend in a public school, a family of four can earn no more than $45,000 annually, but students whose parents earn up to $67,000 can still qualify for a half-voucher. And for children already in the program, their family income can rise to nearly $90,000 annually.
Yep helping those who need it most
“If the idea behind a voucher program is we’re going to have the money follow the student, if the student didn’t start in a public school, the money isn’t following them from a public school, it’s just appearing from another budget,” Stewart said. “And we’re not exactly sure where that’s coming from.”

inner city parents desperately want it. so i guess you’re saying (1) that you know better then they do, what’s best for their kids, and that (2) you aren’t really pro choice.
If you had shown the ability to EVER not tow the union line, you’d have some credibility here. If the unions told you to lay an egg, you’d squat and ask what color.
Oh you don’t like tax breaks for families making as much as $90k?
How about the $7500 tax credit for buying new electric cars? How many poor people are buying new electric cars?
as always, it’s ok when liberals do anything, such as giving. big tax credits to the rich.
