“It does not discriminate. These investments will not be encumbered by the judgment of politicians or these internal political battles that take place between school buildings and school sites. It, rather, leaves the decisions to taxpayers to invest in children like Joshua, and without any regard to the kind of academic setting that Joshua might choose. It focuses on children rather than agencies and institutions, and from that standpoint really drops the discriminatory nature that we see in the Federal funding that we have today where politicians decide which States are going to win, which States are going to lose, which States are behaving the way the bureaucrats in Washington want them to behave, which States are charting their own course. These kinds of discriminatory features really define how money gets back to our neighborhoods in America through Federal spending, and this tax credit gets rid of all that baloney, and, frankly, starts suggesting that Joshua is more important than the guy who hands out the grant down the street from here.”
