Yeah, but life sucks, doesn't it? I do in fact think that people should get money back for many things that they don't use. Charlotte recently built a big ol' stadium for the basketball team. I'll never see the inside of it, I think it's a waste of money and I resent my tax dollars being spent on it. But it's not my call to decide this. On the other hand, I know that education is incredibly important, and I think money should be given back to a parent to help educate the child. Now whose business is it how the parent decides how to educate the child? Now it's another government thing becaseu they gave someone a few bucks? Yes, great idea, let's put George in the classroom to tell our children how to say Nukular. Brilliant.
The money that the government gets is all our money to begin with. When the government decides to actually do the right thing for once and let us decide how to educate our children, you get up in arms about it. There's no fairness here - fairness is not a Constitutional right. It's unfair that I pay for schools yet don't have children. Yet I do it, it's the right thing to do. Anytime a child gets a better education it's the right thing to do. - Matt Small -----Original Message----- From: Marlon Moyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 10:42 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Private High School orders students to take down blogs I guess we all need to start getting checks back from the government, if A.) We don't use all of the highways in our area. We should only have to pay for the ones we use right. B.) Our party isn't in the majority in the house and senate, because if they're not representing me, why should I pay their salary. C.) The military is spending money on something we don't support. Say Iraq for example. The list goes on and on. Taxes are not "your" money anymore once their collected. Vouchers are a political ploy to make people think that politicians are "doing" something.
