We could.  But why would we want to?

Your headline is inaccurate. Dumb people contribute their hard earned money to support foolish spending of a person with no credit trying to get loans for new stuff when she hadn’t paid off the old ones. Would be more accurate.

If you don’t help the profit makers to make profit, from whence do you imagine these tax revenues would come?

You still can’t expect your fellow citizens to pay for stuff they don’t support.  You’d be more beholden to their ideas, not less.

In a socialist system they would contribute more, but it isn’t “free”.

Um. No. You need therapy to deal with the consequences of being paralyzed by fear and helplessness in an emergency.

Why should essential knowledge be restricted?

That is exactly the training the source material discusses.  With additional info about  not jeopardizing your own safety to save someone else.  Also known as triage.

This is a good idea. Science can validate that having tools to deal with a situation reduces anxiety about its occurrence.  Do you not think teenagers are capable enough to learn CPR?

Puerto Rican’s say they have a country. I’m not arrogant enough to call them liars.

Ah. But the oil company pays the taxes much greater than you do. Are you prepared for education subsidies only for geology and none for social sciences?

You are needlessly making a racist argument where none applies. If you want your society to pay for your basic needs you will have to accept your fellow citizens having a say in how you spend their money. A “free” education is only on the fields most useful to your fellows, not your “passion”. “Free” healthcare…
