There are things that work in Europe better then US and vice versa. For example health system education and taxes. We have much higher taxes in general (almost 50% of the income is taken away), but therefore very good free health care and free education. Education is based on competition and ability and not who can pay for it or not. I find this much better then in US, where all is based on weather u can pay for it or not. I am sure there are genious people around born very poor.
Luckily we can educate ourselves these days much easier then we used to, but noone should miss on education, just because not being born in a rich family or end up with tons of debt, just bec of wanting to be educated or not getting a medical care or ending in debt giving a birth. Now I am not good in politics, but I dont think its right what is going on.
