Yes, we must move to return educational choices to parents and educators. But charter schools are a better approach than vouchers. When we funnel our tax money through Washington, D.C., Congress takes a percentage and tells us how to spend the portion it sends back. We are left with fewer choices and less money. America prospered for 140 years without a federal income tax.
Small government works without one.
Congress must provide for those currently retired and nearing retirement, and then allow individuals to opt out of the program. Today's workers cannot afford to retire on the promise that in 40 years Congress will still allow this ridiculously low return. Twenty years ago, few could afford air travel. Since then, partial deregulation of airlines has increased competition and reduced prices dramatically. The same could happen in the medical care and insurance markets.
