themselves (for religious or any other reason) unaccountable to how those dollars will be spent.

As long as non-government run programs take tax dollars and discriminate against citizens who pay taxes in disbursing them, it's public financing of religion or privatization groups.

As far as churches or others being said to 'make tax dollars go further' because of volunteers, prisoners or those forced to do community service, I'm against cheap labor.

Yes, that may sound harsh, but I don't see it as equality in the laws I pay to have administered, and a lowering of standards.

Just sayin'
