More important, however, would be to use the public resources obtained through taxes to provide some of the missing advantages of education and support to the children of those families that can't afford to do it themselves.
Thomas Nagel, What does it all mean?
In this case, is "support" a noun or a verb?
Thanks
It is a noun (the word "to" tells us this, since you cannot "support to something" with "support" as a verb). I think it is intended to be grouped like this: to provide [some of the missing advantages of education and support] to [the children of those families that can't afford to do it themselves]
