Why yes, it is true that with more money one has more options. I am, of course, shocked and appalled about this state of affairs, but I fail to see what it has to do with taking money out of the public school system.

Please, there are other funny parts in the Hebrew Hammer. What about the "monotheists need not apply" sign in the opening montage?

" It's mildly amusing that strong voucher opponents argue against the notion of choice in schools, because truthfully the middle class and wealthy already have that choice. They choose their schools every time they decide which community to live in. The more money you have, the more choice you have. The wealthiest can even choose to send their child to a private school. "

Strong voucher opponents are usually proponents of much more equitable funding systems for schools, too. FUnny, that.

Strong voucher opponents tend to be suburban middle-class voters whose houses would drop in value if access to the local "good school" were opened to non-resident voucher-holders. Most strong voucher backers other than economists are inner-city community leaders (e.g. Polly Williams in Milwaukee).

Either side may be right or wrong about the impact of vouchers on their kids and on the country. But it's pointless to pretend that the anti-voucher argument gets political traction from anything other than rent-seeking.
