Which, with the greatest respect, astra, merely goes to emphasise the point that it's the system you grow up with that seems "right". I'm sure that the American system has its merits, but I don't want to have to worry about how I'm going to afford to pay $30,000 a year to send a child to college, or whether or not I'm going to be able to buy the medicines I need when I grow old. I'd rather have the "comfort" of knowing that such things are funded by my taxes.
Neither system is perfect, but personally (and I'm sure that many people would not agree) I'm pretty happy with things the way that we have them.
