Social and Economic Justice

This post will just be one of many on this subject.

For starters, I completely agree with "Come on, people : on the path from victims to victors" by Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint. A lot of our current problems are caused by young people making babies outside the institution of marriage.

On education, I strongly favor vouchers and private schools. The state should set the voucher payment to about 80% of the per capita cost of educating a child in that state. (Less than 100% because the kids refusing to attend private schools, or expelled from private schools, will likely be harder to educate.)

The federal government should give large block grants to every state, based only on the population size of each state. The funding should be higher, more progressive, federal income taxes. This way, the penalty for high taxes does not pit state against state, yet each state should have ample funding for education and law enforcement.
