I don’t think any sensible capitalist would disagree with this. But the implication that follows, which is “therefor the government should collect more taxes to finance more programs…” is not so obviously a good idea. The government is the least efficient resource allocator ever created. If you ask the government to do something, it will deliver the lowest possible quality outcome, and the highest possible price. Basically your comment basically misses all of the politically controversial aspects of policies like this, in my opinion.

In many parts of the world, public education is much more effective per dollar spent than private alternatives. Same with health care. The idea that government is particularly ineffective is not an absolute. We'd do well with dropping it as an assumption and instead question why certain governments fault to produce good outcomes.
