you still don't get how every capitalistic country works.
As a citizen you pay many taxes. You pay tax because you're citizen, you pay tax because you work (if you work) and so on.
Your money goes to government and with it government finances herself and everything else in USA. Yeah, you paid for those weapons your soldiers used in Iraq. And you paid for the road in front of your house.
Your government couldn't exist without your money.
When government pays for your education, she's just giving you back only part of the money YOU ALREADY GAVE HER.
most of the time when the government pays for your education, its a loan that you pay back. I left school in 2000 and I am still paying on my loans. When people want to get back the money they paid to the government, they get on welfare or foodstamps. My family has been struggling for a while so my wife and I have relied on Government programs like WIC to help us out. While we will get off these programs as soon as we can, there are people who exist only on these programs and make no effort to change. In the U.S., we call these people "trash".
