Nearly every doctor you've used or will use in the future has benefitted from publicly-funded universities.  The drugs that have or that will improve your medical outcomes have benefitted from publicly-funded research.  The engineers that design our infrastructure, the educators that worked with  you as a child, the military leaders that serve to protect us - I could go on.  I know few minds have ever been changed in these comments sections, but hopefully you can at least recognize that you have benefitted from taxpayer-funded education.
