And why are the same liberals who support this, so adamantly opposed to school vouchers? Answer...teachers unions...

Bingo! That's why I asked if this program is "fair"? There are a lot of folks who are not "rich" who would like vouchers to move into nicer neighborhoods than they can afford. Inch by inch, it is becoming more advantageous to be poor as the "safety net" broadens and "subsidies" (food stamps, health care, etc.) are made "policy."

Equality rather than liberty. Dependence rather than freedom. Government as master of the productive few and servant of the dependent masses. That is . . . until we are all "equal." Then it will be the master us all.

Imagone telling a landlord, that he doesn't have the right to refuse to rent to a persion with a public voucher, even if they have a criminal record? How many drug dealers does the HUD commissioner have living in HIS house?
