Eugene has a rather effective public transportation system.  Taxpayers support it.  If you choose, instead of using it, to purchase an automobile and pay all the associated costs, should you get a tax credit for your auto, fuel, insurance and maintenance on your vehicle?  Sorry, it doesn't work that way.  We all know that voucher systems are a "scam" and provide financial assistance to the individuals who can pay the portion of private education not covered by the voucher......  They are NO help to the working class who can't afford to pay that difference.  Make them progressive....with full vouchers for working class kids and decreasing with increasing incomes and then we can have a sensible discussion.  Until then vouchers remain a "welfare check" for the wealthy...  Gary (one of those damn illogical liberals) Crum
