My point was that private schools can produce twice the "product" for half
the money. We would *all* be better off by going with the lower-cost, better
product. If I could take my educational money that's being taxed (~ $6,000)
and give that to a private school charging $3,000, then we'd all be better
off (you would pay 50% less in taxes and I woulnd't have to pay tuition for
4 kids out of pocket).

You are right. I should have removed all of the financial grants from that
list. My apologies. It was intended to be a scholastic merit list, not a
financial needs list.
