[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All colleges in the USA, unlike the rest of the world, are basically #1 a business, money-making venture, whatever you call them otherwise, however they get their funding. [/quote] Very much so. As a foreigner who went to university for free in my country, it's obvious to me. However now we're here and are forced to play by new rules. My kid got a cipher postcard from W&M. Hope he gets in.[/quote] What country? Those countries usually take half of your income as tax. There's no such thing as free. The problem with US systems is more with fairness, not a cost comparison to European countries who pay 50% tax. [/quote] If we added up what we pay for health insurance, social security taxes, Medicare taxes, and federal taxes (and other things), I bet we get close to 50%. [/quote] As someone who has a small business and knows exactly these costs, your 50% is grossly exaggerated. [/quote]
