You can understand from the point of view of somebody in need for support to get his children educated. But, where should the money come from? I think a community should provide its members with the basic necessities to have a human-like live and to have chance to improve it. This requires education, housing, social and physical security. Those members who can afford it will have to pay for it. It falls back on the community if these members who can not support themselfes are left out. I currently live in the US and I pay taxes here. And I am OK with it although my kids will probably never go to school here and I certainly could use the money for something else.
