Ok but, education is a subsidy for corporations. It makes sure we're educated enough to be worth hiring. Among other things, education is important in making us competitive.
Nobody should want this except for traitorous elites ready to leave the country the instant the tap runs dry. Even the most soulless neolib/conservative ought to realize education is necessary.
It's a perquisite for domestic development of professional labor. But where those laborers work is dictated by their access to capital. Corporate monopolization of real estate and advanced machinery forces professional workers into their employment. The act of publicly provisioning education isn't what yields subsidy. Its the caging of graduates into privately owned industries through control of physical and intellectual properties.
I think you're getting out ahead of your skis.
