My problem is more related to privilege vs. merit in education. Social waste; where people do not max their potentials because of limited opportunities.. This is how castes are formed and perpetuated.

Estate taxes, after the way generous exclusions, should pay for this next generation of scholars and educated workers.

Also too many US children of all classes do not value public education as children do in poorer nations. Africans and Asians who DREAM of true education past 4th grade - of leaving the subsistence life. Of literacy.

Also, I don't think anything is free or should be. There needs to be a price, everyone receiving a free education must give something back later; some sort of service (not necessarily military.)
