Third, the choice to spend more tax money on schools sounds like the typical view of college students and people on welfare. The editorial does not state the source of this money. Since cash doesn't grow on trees, we guess you must be suggesting that people in Florida should pay more in taxes. The taxpayers should not be burdened with paying for luxuries. Currently, the per-student cost for a public education in America is higher than in any other country in the world, yet our education, while still high in quality, is far from the best.
Vouchers are an excellent solution.
Rather than simply taking money away from public schools, vouchers will raise the quality of public education as a result of increased competition, just as U.S. businesses must increase their quality to compete nationally and globally. The schools that are innovative, hard-working and successful will grow and improve, attracting more and better students. Those that are ineffective and produce poorly educated students, or have serious safety concerns, will disappear. Finally, we agree that education is very important. However, a free education is not guaranteed by the Constitution.
