[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this program free for all? Funding should be based on need. There are plenty of families who can afford to pay the way for their kids.[/quote] No, middle class parents are feeling the economic squeeze as well. I am completely against this being a means-tested program.[/quote] Why should my tax dollars pay for your kid's trip to Europe if you could afford it but would "feel the economic squeeze"? There is a BIG difference between not being affordable and it may set me back for my monthly manicures.[/quote] Not taxpayer funded aside from the people in Central Admin managing the program. Funded by people like Walton Fdtn, Flamboyan, City Bridge, Arnold Fdtn. [/quote]
