In the long run, having lower taxes from not paying for other peoples' educations is cheaper for you and for anyone with a useful degree.

I will take the example of my friend. He's at a no name company as a new grad software engineer making $96k. That is, he's working at a position attainable to everyone. That's $8000/mo pre-tax and he lives in a fairly LCoL area. $1000/mo for 5-8 years is peanuts compared to the extra taxes he'd pay for a lifetime under your idea.

If you consider it from the perspective of someone working at FAANG ($200k new grad salary) $1k/mo is even more trivial.
