Send me the money and I will!!

If we had a voucher system (which Governor Clinton opposes) vitually any
schools would be accessible to the masses.  What should Governor Clinton
care about providing such education to the masses?  He's got the money to
send his kids to any school he chooses.  I don't have a problem with that.
I do have a problem with him limiting my choices.  He's limiting my
choices for my children's education to institutions which do not have to
compete for customers (students).  What kind of cars do you think we would
be driving if we had one car manufacturer to purchase from who did not
have to compete with anyone?  That's where our public education system is
today.  I'm not attacking the public education system entirely, but why
is it that private schools do such a better job (I'm assuming they do
since people must spend additional dollars to use them).  Additionally,
the message that Governor Clinton is sending out is that the public schools
are not good enough for his daughter but for those who can't afford it,
they'll just have to make due.
