Ok, I totally agree that journals are a scam (though, someone has to pay for the editing - should that be publicly funded too?) I'm not sure I agree that science / fundamental research is the only knowledge that's worth anything through. Making a new product or making a work of art both take time and effort and are trivially copied and it would be a shame for there to be no way to make money from doing those. (If your answer is that those should be publicly funded as well, that's fair)
