It's wrong to think that without publicly-subsidized education, most people would not get any education.

But will all people who can be educated get education?
Will all people who can benefit from a romantic relationship find their ideal mate? Will everyone (regardless of who they are, where they are, and what else they're doing) that wants an ice cream sandwich have one?

This is boil-the-ocean, god's-eye-view thinking. Moral ideals cooked up in this style are unreal and utterly unachievable as practical goals.
