They do through taxes, of course.

We all do. We pay for the education of ourselves, our own children, our parents, our employees, our neighbors.

Heck, that's not so strange, we pay for a lot of things that we benefit from, from public libraries to public rose gardens to military defense.

It's easy to get angry at government when you are being ripped off. It's very hard when you are getting your money's worth, more or less.

Maybe employers should be paying for all education? They do through taxes, of course.

Oh, please, you and I are paying for the education, in effect, the employers outsource their costs to the rest of us. Since they benefit, they clearly should pay.
