On par with Germany. It allowed for example the building of many very expensive national projects that we all rely on a daily basis. And more importantly without trillion dollar deficits or debts. Its not a question of whether or not taxes are high. Its a matter of what they are used for and if the return is greater than what is taken in. Yes that even includes the military when it got rid of the draft. No shared sacrifice in the defense of the nation. Not even in taxes. Want a brand new fleet of shiny new fighters? Yup. Wanna raise your taxes to help pay for them all? Never. How selfish is that? The US is different than all other 1st world places because it is heavily ingrained within society that its every man for himself. No national unity. Is it any wonder there are states that would love to break apart the union? They dont care about the other 49 populated with people that are no better than foreigners. As long as they get theirs. If this trend continues the United States of America will cease to exist within 100 years. iboomboom, eidolonFIRE, JohnnyDos and 1 other 4 Awards

You have to get the damm kids in school first. If they don't graduate they pay so its not really free.( I do think they have to achieve some type of grade point average to keep it free as well ?) Now the government will get its money back through taxes on higher wages which do normally come with higher education. So this is a good thing. Ask Google how come they have to go out of country to hire people ask Microsoft the same question ask Apple that question too. They will all tell you the same thing they can not find enough educated people to hire in the US of A . And is this not a political topic ? Awards

We are middle class, responsible, follow the law and pay our bills. Therefore, we are ineligible for financial aid. Pisses me off that, if we were jobless drug addicts, we could get a free college education. We know scum bags that have been offered free college and declined it. I would love to go to college but have never been able to afford it. I hope to start next year. I'll have to take one class at a time due to cost so it will take FOREVER to actually get just an associates degree. Most jobs require a degree these days. I guess it pays to do the wrong thing.
