No, I've not said anything even remotely like that.
"What I am saying" (I got that line off Tony Blair) is that I don't recognise the comparison between an 18k hypothetical tax that is immediately payable and presumably mandatory and presumably without obvious consideration/return/reward . . .
. . . with a tuition fee that ultimately is optional, pays for a college education of your choice, in most cases leads to higher earnings and can be paid off in a way that makes it affordable to everyone.
Going back to your original point - if we forcibly imposed a 18k tax of some kind we'd see a whole lot more people on the streets - I can't see how this (out hypothetical 18k tax) is comparable to the tuition fees, the dynamic of the two are so completely different.
