Are Vouchers the Solution for Our Failing Public Schools?

Dr. Paul sums up this issue nicely.

I came across this article doing research because of the the following:

I thought that it would be logical to compensate families, whose kids go to private schools, for their taxes used to pay for public schools...something they don't use. This way more families would be able to send their kids to private schools and have more options as to how they want their kids to be educated.

In this article I found this piece of proposed legislation H.R. 1057 from the 110th Congress, which coincides with my reasoning.
