People with university education tend to have higher incomes and in countries with sane laws therefore pay more in taxes. On average they will pay more than they get from government.

Apart from that I feel much more comfortable going to a doctor, knowing that she has gained that position by skill and not because her parents could afford it.

Some graduates go on to pay more tax, others don't. The question is do we want our doctors/bankers be taxed more to pay for the education of our sport scientists/elementary school teachers?
