It was free in the old USSR and it was a means of social mobility there even more than here.
This is irrelevant to the conversation, since we're not talking about communist societies, nor is your point even true; it was not more of a means of social mobility in the USSR, which was highly nepotistic and corrupt, than in the modern capitalist United States, which is extremely concerned with credentialing and academic pedigree.
In the contemporary world, particularly in the advanced countries, the cheaper the education, assuming education has a legitimate effect on life chances, the freer the citizenry. When education is more expensive, people have fewer options in society. Period.
Yes this country also fire bombed many cities in Germany for no reason other than to bully the populace. Also the USA didn't win WWII single handily. I suggest you educate yourself.
Could the English have defeated Germany by themselves? Maybe the Russians would have done very well with a one front war. I have studied that war that I lived through and think you are the one who needs to study up on it.
Its not only the education but the overall attitude of the society. You have more vacations, better and more secure health care coverage, better public transportation and as the above poster said, more social mobility. Oh yeah the cities are more visually pleasing than the concrete hellholes we have here.

Life is easier and more enjoyable.
Germany would probably be a good fit for you. Nothing worthwhile was ever easy but you'll never discover that unless you are willing to put forth the effort. Only child by chance?
I wish it were that easy. But America is a victim of our economic system and greed. Capitalism at ever level of our lives is not sustainable. We're a new country and we are already at our tipping point. We need to evolve or we will be no more.
Wrong. Don't assume to know people. My father worked in the corporate world - that would probably be 'big, bad corporate world' to you.
I have traveled to:
Hawaii - 3 times
Australia
New Zealand
England
Scotland
Cruised the French Riviera
Spain
Mexico
and a host of carribean islands
We live in the greatest Country and nothing can compare. Again, you will realize this one day.
Looks like someone was born with a silver spoon in the mouth. Bet you wouldn't be singing this "we live in the greatest country in the world" tune if you were one of America's impoverished minorities, on government assistance, with no job, a GED and living in a city owned housing development.

Yea, take that Denmark! You socialist little commie pinko liberal Marxist vermin!!! America all the way, baby!
