Calling all SCHIP-haters: Public money for private education?!?

Ignoring for the moment the wholesale attempt to shift public monies to private and religious schools for families 'that otherwise couldn't afford it,' how wrong must it (and your precious conservative Supreme Court) be to force taxpayer funds to be used

to reimburse a wealthy businessman for private special education for his son.

He's rich--very rich--so shouldn't he take care of his own? Oh, wait, there's special circumstances, a medical issue of some sort? Too bad, buddy. You're on your own; go get another job if need be. And how much of that house of yours worth?

Maybe someone will have to stop by your place of employment to ask how things 'are really going for you.' What about your parents? Don't THEY have any money to lend?
