…the idea of blowing taxpayer dollars to subsidize wealthy parents’ private schools is so dumb it just slips right out of my head.

Mostly, if not all of the pertinent points slip right out of your head, Dan S. About forty posts back I asked why we ripped off customers aren’t questioning the foundational logic of a monopoly government “education” system, one who’s failure is writ large.

Naturally, this was screeching on my part.

Now you, presumably straight-faced, finally question government redistribution of wealth, but, presumably, only to support that failed monopoly (a monoploy I’d further agrue violated what religion/state separation we have left.)

I say presumably because a thousand words of commentary with such confused logic slips right out of my head.

Of course vouchers are asinine and I know I at least screeched so those forty or so posts back. The problem is the Question That May Not Be Asked. That phenomenon has many of the trappings of not questioning bad religion, you know. The presumption, the collectivist powers, the unquestionable dogma, the arrogance, the ignorance, the minions, and ultimately the terrific damage.
