The Argentinian government has collected taxes from its 50% child-poverty rate to fund your education so you could leave the country.
That is not an example of successful policy.

Nevermind that I was one of those poor children.
But yes, the "policy" is the problem. Not the big heads stealing money.
4% of the national budget goes to public universities, and IVA is half the taxes levied by the federal government. There are no doubts of who is the giving and who is the receiving in this case. IVA is collected 60% on the bottom 50% of the population meaning its slightly regressive.
The first thing you can do to help the poor is to stop giving money to the rich: you can lower IVA by 1% if public universities were self funded.
