Actually, no, my parent's store is not located anywhere near this area.

The government's not funding the private school, you are becaseu it was your
money to begin with.  The government's giving you a bigger choice - more
competition, actually.


"Wthout the schools that you pay for, kids would be on the streets at
all times of day causing trouble.  Crime rates would go up because if
you're uneducated, crime is an easier way to live."  

I said it was the right thing to do, right?


"Yes.  I agree with you on most of these things, but I just feel we
differ on wheter taxes are your money or not.  I think it's possible
to live somewhere where there aren't any taxes, but I bet it's not a
place I'd like to live."

I never said the first thing about living where there weren't any taxes.  I
said I believe that giving the money back to the parent to help the parent
send the child to the school of the parent's choice was a good thing.  I
also said that the money that is being spent should not be subject to any
government regulation or restriction, well except that it be education.
Whatever kind of education it is, is up to the parent.

Don't your parents own a store in the area you live in.  Won't that
stadium bring more people in and possibly spend more money at the
store.  You don't think you'll get any benefit from this stadium?

You're very right.  It's not the governments business how a parent
educates their child.  They give you the option to use a public
school, or you can send your child to a private school, or even
homeschool.  Why should the government fund any of the others aside
from the public school?

Now it's another government thing becaseu

Without the schools that you pay for, kids would be on the streets at
all times of day causing trouble.  Crime rates would go up because if
you're uneducated, crime is an easier way to live.
