"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"Do vouchers work? You bet they do. Just ask the low-income kids in Washington, D.C., who have participated in the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. The U.S. Department of Education found that the voucher kids read better than their government-school counterparts."

Vouchers are just another government program, funded by dollars stolen from taxpayers at the point of a gun. Their side effects will be to destroy independent schooling (which is probably their real aim - the ruling class does not really care about these kids). I'd trust Marshall Fritz' opinion on vouchers before I'd trust the phony libertarians at reason.com.
John Stossel seems to be getting closer and closer to being a true voluntaryist. Maybe he'll eventually come over to our side. j
