Will the rich get money off too in a national system. However so will the poor. In fact the poor who use private schools benefit more, because they pay less in school taxes... and the voucher is an across the board even amount. If you don't own your home and don't play the lottery in a lot of cases you might not be paying anything for education in the first place outside of school supplies. Either way it's not really a tax break since your actually handed the money and it can go only towards school.

The way I'm seeing it is (and correct me if I'm wrong)
Currently the rich pay towards school:
Taxes + Fees
The poor pay:
Taxes
Under the new system it would be the rich paying:
Taxes + Fees over amount from voucher
and the poor would be paying:
Taxes + Fees over amount from voucher
So essentially the new system means that the amount the rich pay towards schooling would be reduced no?
