Why do all of those of us who didn't go to University have to pay a portion of our taxes to support Universities (the fees don't cover much of the costs).

Why does a portion of my taxes go towards unemployment benefit, when in the last 35 years I have probably claimed about £1000 pounds in dole money.

I thought it was because, as a society, we try and contribute to do what's best for most, rather than what's best for some.
You really can't compare a TV channel with socialised medicine, education and benefits.
