How offensive is it that democrats who claim (falsely) to be the champion of poor people and minorities would take away the right of poor D.C. kids to go to private school? The D.C. opportunity Scholarship Program allowed poor blacks and other minorities the chance to attend the same school as Barack Obama’s kids, but democrats refuse to allow that to happen. Starting next year, those kids will have to go back to the horrible D.C. public school system where they’re certain to not receive a decent education.

The reason democrats want to keep poor kids out of good private schools is because they don’t want them to be successful. Democrats depend on keeping black people poor and ignorant so they can win elections. There’s no advantage for democrats to actually lift anyone out of poverty. That’s why they drown the ghettos with entitlements and tell minorities that without their help they have no chance of being successful in America.

The D.C. public school system is the most expensive per student system in the country. They spend $14,000 dollars per year per student and guess what they have to show for it? Some of the lowest reading and math scores in the country.

Bush’s voucher program only cost $7,500 dollars per student per year and they receive a quality education. So why would any reasonable person deny a child the best education possible at half the price? Because, the idea is to keep these kids stupid.

When you don’t have a high school education and you can’t read good you have very few job prospects. When you have few job prospects who do you turn to? Obviously, you turn to the government for assistance, and the smiling democrats are more than happy to give you just enough to keep you alive, but not enough to improve your situation.

Since you now depend on the government (democrats) to eat, who do you think you’re going vote for when the next election comes around? I’m thinking probably democrats.

Democrats claim to want to end poverty, but an end to poverty would mean an end to the democratic party. By ending the school voucher program democrats have shown their true colors to the American people.
