All education, from kindergarden to university, should be completely free. In fact, the government should finance the students too.

Why? Because let's face it, a rich man doesn't produce brighter offspring than a poor man. Why would I want a rich mans idiot son to operate me, instead of the poor mans brilliant son?

Also, there's the benefit to democracy from having more educated citizens, the economy will profit from having more educated workers AND consumers, etc etc.

In fact, there's not a single thing in the world that doesn't improve with more education. So it's quite obvious that it should be available to everyone. Yes, that includes the son of a prostitute and the single mom.
