We in europe mostly get free health, college and good benefits because we don't need to spend money on our own defend/military because you guys (USA) protects us with your military. Simple as that really.
The reality is that we live in a society, where we pay taxes in exchange for things like roads, public spaces, and various things that provide the infrastructure make everyone's lives better, using a fraction of the money we would spend if we had to cover the whole thing by ourselves. If society functioned how you wanted it to where people only get the things they can personally pay for at the moment we'd live in a world where only people who can afford to pay the polices salary are allowed to report crime. Where only people who personally sponsored the construction of a road can use that road, and where disabled people unable to work and children born into poor homes get ignored as just being burdens on society despite not having done anything wrong.
Yet somehow things like healthcare, the thing that allows people to live, and education, the thing that allows a society to innovate and thrive is just going to far.
The crazy thing is they dont see you having to get into debt. They actually believe that loan is them investing in you.
These are all true.
That is false
Everything is free here and everybody even gets paid to study (even at university) when I was doing pol.scient I was paid 700 euro a month to do so... (I paid nothing outside a few books each semester)
Not having access to free knowledge (look at the US) means, that the rich have a better chance and that power is containted, it also means a lot of less well educated people for various awful jobs, that needs to be done..
The fun fact is, that with free knowledge, even those less attracted jobs, gets more advanced and techical and still pay well. It often also results in better quality of the people whom posses them (we could look at teachers ie, they are much higher quality here, than in the US and have much better pay and preparation, like 4x the time to prepare, than their US counterparts)
Not everyone wants college, not everyone needs college, not everyone wants or needs to pay for a subscription service for healthcare either. Americans get a choice in how to spend their money. For Europe, some bureaucrats decided for you. Why is it so hard for people to understand that not everyone wants the same things or has the same goals as someone else so taking money from anybody to force a "one size fits all" solution onto them is silly.
Well, as a German, I disagree. But I couldn't bother to rant about it here.
The reality is that people like you are the ones trying to force your will on the majority by saying that things that some people NEED to survive and that is impossible to afford without being rich or having good insurance like healthcare shouldn't be allowed to have a public option because people like you might not need it, and anything you personally don't need shouldn't be used by the rest of society either cause you're entitled and feel like "how dare they take that extra 50 cents out of my taxes to help fund this thing for someone else" because the only life goals that matter are your own.
How about this? Don't want to go to college? Don't go to college then. Literally no one is forcing you. Everyone pays taxes for things they want and they don't want. Part of being a part of a society is understanding not everyones needs are the same as yours, and that there are things you might not need, that other people do. It's about people being able to have the option for these things without going into massive debt, or actively decided not to save their own life cause they can't afford it. Nothing stopping you from going off the grid and living off leaves and twigs, and never paying a dime in taxes if society is so inconvenient for you.
It's the age old discussion between public vs private (vs others).
If I don't want to go to college, not only will I not go, but I'm also not going to pay for you to go either. If you want it, you pay for it. If you cannot afford to do so, that isn't my problem. I can't afford a lot of the things I want to do, but I also don't expect someone else to buy them for me either.
