Why, as an American, do I have to pay for college and healthcare, but most other countries get that stuff for free?

>free

They pay through the ass in taxes, just like you pay through the ass to your boyfriend faggot.

>(OP) is always a faggot.

When OP gets a job and moves out of his parents' house perhaps he will learn to value his time and money.

Also the US has the best universities and health care in the world. That is why people all over the globe go there for medical treatment and higher education.

I'm not paying for your gender studies degree, your castration, or your hormones. You can pay for those things with your own money.

> What are taxes
That being said if we did some things less retardedly we could end up saving money from direct payments even with increased taxes.

Because its not fair to have a single mother who has to balance 3 jobs and never went to college pay for your shitty ass to drop out after 2 years.

They pay more taxes.

Also they have a much smaller population.

The quality of healthcare and education outside the US is much worse. American institutions are the gold standard.

Because we pay for the defense of the countries that have those benefits. Our military is the biggest global welfare expense in the world...

/thread. Faggot OP is a Bern victim that doesn't understand basic economics

They all have to live with being our bitches though

You got it backwards, commie

60% tax rate, ulike?

FEEL THE DONATION BERN GOYIM

I'm from France, and A) Taxes are huge compared to America. B) When college is "free" everybody will do it and it will lose value, pretty much becomes a second high school diploma. So now you need a masters to be competitive in the marketplace. C) Education isn't very good, state opersted schools hire pretty shit teachers D) The result is that there are private universities that cost more than the ones here in the USA and offer the same qualifications except only rich kids get in. So let's see how Bernie works out for ya

As if the several trillion dollars your politicians wasted on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan actually helped anybody.

Because if we had "free healthcare" it would be controlled by insurance instead of docs. If you wanted good care you would have to go to a private place. Even now, insurance and hospitals are trying to grab more control from health care professionals with utilization reviews and other bullshit red tape. Also, right now, if you go to an ER, you can still get treatment, even if you can't pay

Yeah, don't think you broke even there buddy. A hundred years from now Americans will look back at this time in history and wonder why the fuck they wasted so much money on "defense".

They have to pay for it too user...it's just over there people who don't use either are forced to pay it for other people. It's like making you by tampons at gunpoint every month, even though you will never use them.

because you get lower taxes and therefore more personal spending instead.

I feel like the American system only makes sense during periods of growth. My understanding is that when you include health expenses, the average spending power of Americans is lower than places like Sweden.

Where Americans benefit most is from cheaper housing, food, and consumer goods. As soon as those prices increase relative to salaries (and they always do), you lose the benefits of the American system.

There ain't a goddamn thing FREE op.

the private sector offers better & more options

when government alone controls industry, the people suffer from reduced quality & no other options

tithe 10%

bolshevik bernie wants 90%

We literally pay so much aid and have such a black hand in so many industries that we pay for a good bit of these countries to have good healthcare and free college. We also pay for their defense. If we were to retract in on ourselves we could easily afford to live as we liked. Europe would become a lawless hellhole where the white man would have to wake from his sane slumber into the insane rage filled killing machine he once was burning off the fat detritus. Once back in good fighting form and fucking like rabbits the Europeans could retake Constantinople for fun and maybe haven50 million bloodthirsty mongolianoid peoples to help them do it too.

Because we pay for their defense and until recently they had no nigger problems. That's all changing now though. Expect nothing to be free in Europastan.

Because the Founding Fathers determined that brainless writing prompts are a ShareBlue attempt to disrupt the board.

>58% taxes
>free college

Because then your college would suck even more than it does. If something is genuinely free, it usually sucks.

No liberal understands basic Econ or how socialism and UBI would eviscerate the workforce

Well you can pick between growth and equity. The two economic options are in opposition. The more you have of one, the less you have of the other.

America has unfortunately gone down the road of choosing equity. Also, the most expensive industries, such as insurance, schooling, and healthcare, and pharmaceuticals are also the most expensive.

If America had stuck to the regulations of the 1920s we would have a GDP of roughly $40-60 trillion instead of our current $18 trillion. That equates to about a median household income of $120000 in 2016 dollars.

Education would be cheaper, albeit there would probably be 10-20% of the population that wouldn't be able to afford it outright.

I cringe at all the potential that has been lost due to over regulation of the healthcare industry. We easily could have found cheap ways to deliver healthcare to poor households without direct government subsidization.

>paying for college
brainlet detected

This is good in concept but really bad in practice unless you got good leaders and not corrupt ones. Like we all pay into a healthcare fund, except we get jack shit off of it, its a giant scam and we end up paying doctors directly anyway, while still paying into that healthcare fund.

Don't be fucking idiot mate.
Nothing is free. Those countries that have "free" health care are those with state-owned insurance companies. And for that insurance, u must (MUST) pay.
Here in Bosnia, yes, you are covered with healthcare no matter what, doctors ethics literally obligates them not to decline a single patient.
But for all of that (for entire population), those that work in productive sector are paying with the percentage of their paycheck.
I think its about 20% of monthly pay that goes to "socio-retirement" fond. And i think but im not sure, that entire Europe functions similarly.

>best universities

the hell is wrong with u? Is Nippon education that shity?
Lol, even Bosnia has better education, than US
