That&#x27;s already happening in the U.S. - State schools are heavily subsidized by taxes. I went to one which was (and still is) relatively inexpensive for in-state students and delivered fantastic value for what I paid.<p>Saying &quot;universities should be free&quot; and that it should be paid for &quot;by taxes&quot; without being more specific about <i>which universities</i> and <i>what taxes</i> paid for by <i>which specific people</i> doesn&#x27;t really add anything.
