Civilized countries have universal healthcare and no tuition. The people who say that our way is better are lying and are trying to keep something away from us that we deserve.

That's all.

2. People who live in countries that have universal healthcare and tuition-free schools pay for it too
Through their taxes.

3. With all our tax money going to defense and debt service...
this is what we get.

Garbage in, garbage out.
