is that if creationists want to teach their ideas in pulibc school all they have to do is get a majority and then they can have YOUR money to do it with AND (this is the really important part) they get to make that coercive decision and impose it on the minority who do not want those things taught in school.Right, Synova. No need for me to read it again… slowly. That was it from the start. Good of you to notice.You see, I’m used to having my tax dollars spent in ways that make a coercive decision and impose it on a minority. It’s one of the reasons I’m so pissed off all of the time.But this is the rub about vouchers, and maybe you want to read this slowly, now… the idea is, you want to take my tax dollars and give it to other people so they can spend it however they wish. No thanks.If it were simply their own tax dollars they were getting back, then I would be cheering them on right with you. But it’s not. It’s mine as well. And it’s the tax dollars of my friends, and my parents, and my sister, and my uncle, and everyone I know that does not have any kids in the pulibc school system, yet pays for it right along side those that do.You want vouchers. Fine! Give me one!!! I’ve got my eye on this speedboat I’ve been wanting. And I could afford it if only I didn’t have to pay school taxes. I’ve got an idea, you give me vouchers for health insurance. That would clear up $300 a month. HEY!! That’s a speedboat payment.Or post grad work, perhaps… Dr. PogueMahone. Yes, I like it.Ooo, oooh… I’ve got it… Professor PogueMahone.Yessss, that’s it. That would really piss some people off.But I dream.Hmm… stuff that I should pay for myself for the well being of my loved ones, being paid for with other peoples money. I’m starting to see how attractive that is.You know, my neighbor has a speedboat. You remember him, right? The guy who wants to send his kids to Podunk Academy. He’s got a nice speedboat. A wreck of a house, and a POS truck… and I know what he does for a living so I know he can’t make too much money. Yet, he has a speedboat. I know how much he paid for it too, because he tells me often.I wonder if he would get vouchers for his four kids.Probably. The means testing doesn’t sound air tight to me, you understand.But I got a better idea… How about he sells his speedboat?You guys have written about how it’s about the “freedom” that vouchers would give people. That you’d be taking the power away from the state and putting it back with the people. And if I could have my money back too, I’d be right there with you. But vouchers don’t do that. All they do is give my money to them as well. Without having at least a nominal say.And the truth is all of these freedoms you speak of already exist. Mr. Speedboat can freely send his kids to Podunk Academy and I could say s*** about it. Of course he may not be “Mr. Speedboat” anymore, …but you know… sacrifices and such. I make them. So can he. But if he wants my money to help him pay for his kids education, then he’s going to have to listen to me scream that Podunk Academy, though excelling in math – teaches fear and mythology, would be more useful as kindling. Otherwise, he can take his kids, and his speedboat, and go do something better with them.If you’re going to take my tax dollars, then I’m going to have to stick to our current POS system until something better comes along. And I’m going to have to elect that incompetent motherscratcher to the school board because he's my only voice in how my money is being spent.And I love my little voice. It’s pathetic, but it’s the only one I have.Give me my money back,And I’ll STFU.Cheers.
pim van rond de 1000 dollar!
