You can't really think that. American pioneered the public school approach, which brought education to all income levels. That's one of our signature accomplishments as a nation.
Our public universities are the best in the world, which is why people come here from all over the world to go to college.
We need skilled labor force... we can't just tell the most talented amongst us that they should dig ditches because they can't afford Harvard or Stanford. That would be shooting ourselves in the foot.
Not to mention the EXTREMELY VALUABLE RESEARCH that comes out of public universities, research that private industry USES when crafting new technologies.
