As opposed to say... hmm... US-style cappy-happy-talisme where you work your ass off before, during, and after college so the Bush twins can drink their way through it?
What gets lost in debates like this is the nature of capitalism. Even capitalism has to allocate a certain amount of overhead for infrastructure and systems of social reproduction. Without these, it would melt into air. So, much as i hate to break it to you, you are already paying for the education of others.
Attacking from another angle, you could also call "working your ass off after high school to pay for -- egads! -- SOMEONE ELSE to go to college" "being a middle class parent."
