Get the federal government out of funding education. Education is paid for with property taxes and using income taxes is a form of double taxation for the same thing.
How are the schools improved by getting less funding? How does this make vouchers a good idea?

I am assuming you want to restrict funding to state funding only or are you advocating no tax supported public school system at all and those who cant afford an education go without?
