Usually, politicians try to disguise, camouflage or outright conceal a scheme to make middle-class taxpayers hand over their hard-earned money to the filthy rich.
Not this time.
This time, the Republicans who control the Arizona Legislature dont seem give a damn.
Theyre going to take your money and let the wealthy use it to keep their kids in private schools, and theyre doing it in a way that is blatantly in your face.
Gotta give em credit for chutzpah, but not decency. Or morality.
Four years ago Arizona voters by an overwhelming margin rejected a Republican plan to allow all of Arizonas 1 million-plus public school students to get vouchers to attend private and parochial schools.

(10,014 posts)1. Iowa, too.
The governor has it as her #1 goal if she wins reelection. She campaigned in the primary against the GOPers who opposed it.

(51,101 posts)2. Arizona voters overwhelmingly rejected this idea.

(26,735 posts)3. How are they limiting it to wealthy families?
Or is the concern that it isn't means tested?
