It underscores the contention we have that we bring to this debate and, that is, that Americans will contribute more and they are willing to invest more in America's education system if they are convinced and assured that there will be meaningful results for real children. Today they do not get that assurance. Under the tax credit model, that is an assurance that is delivered to their door, something that they can see in their neighborhood, they can make a difference with their own contributions and it is such a positive idea that the government is willing to reduce the tax burden, the Federal Government, for any individual who will make contributions to the neighborhood schools. That is really what the tax credit bill is all about.
