Well, we are certainly going to disagree on this one. That is a very bad analogy.
Federal money should not be spent on private schools who discriminate (in the broadest sense of that word). Vouchers are not tax refunds. If they were, then I should get them back, too. They are public funds earmarked for public schools being redirected to private schools. If we started treating all taxes in this manner, I should get back all tax money spent on roads (since I don't drive), all money spent on public parks (since I spend my time on my own land), and all money spent on courts (since I have never sued anyone.).
