| Message | While the current law doesn't extend the benefits of capitalism far enough, going backwards isn't a way we should go. People are entitled to put their money where they want to. Those who cannot afford it should be given the same as those who can, but for free. Unequal? No. Fair? Yes. Let the rich use their money and give the poor a break. Don't give the rich anymore breaks, they're doing quite fine. |

| Message | The rich will not be getting any breaks. On the contrary, this bill would level the playing field. At present, the stupidest rich citizens of our nation are using their inherited wealth to get better educations than the brightest of our nation's poor. Education must be entirely public and free. Let our educational system be based entirely on merit, not on money. |
