Excerpts from the document:
- “Right now, people who attend alternative schools have to pay for education twice: they pay for government schools through taxes and they pay for the tuition of the alternative school. Only people with a lot of money can afford that. The rest of us are stuck with the incompetent public system. But a tax credit would make decent schools available to everyone. It would give people a choice. And it would improve the public system by subjecting it to competition.”
- “I advocate the abolition of the Department of Energy…”
- “I also advocate eliminating the minimum wage.”
