I would like to point out that under the BCC program you mentioned, the donor was paying in-state tuition for students, so most of the funding still came from taxes. http://www.brunswickcc.edu/new-page-453/ http://www.brunswickcc.edu/new-page-453/ While in-state tuition is $1152/semester, out-of-state tuition $4224/semester, or quadruple. So if community colleges are not paid for by taxes, benefactors would have to pay quadruple. And I'm guessing you would want K-12 schools to be free too, so if those have to be funded by philanthropists too, then the bill would skyrocket.
