I never claimed education shouldn’t be paid for, nor that resources shouldn’t be applied to its provision, but a society which levels the financial burden on the student is imposing an artificial and indefensible barrier on their collective progress.

Further, education can only be framed as expensive when it is not appropriately valued as the investment it is.

Finally, taxes don’t pay for anything when the funding originates from the issuing entity of a fiat currency.

Not sure I understand your point
