>>20835791>18%Pic rel is Wollerau, your parents must make a shitton of money in that case, well be glad you're not living somewhere like Maschwanden where you're paying 130% of the State average instead of your 74%.
>still doesn't justify stealingIt's as if poor people aren't also paying taxes, and being hit harder by them on top of that. Note that cost of living (education included) does not scale with income (duh). Even if yearly tuition would be a laughable 10k (highly unrealistic), that's a huge amount of money for someone with the mean income of 93k (before tax).
>Which doesn't make it a free marketI never said it was. But I hope you can see how the privatization (and degredation) of the currently state funded education would devalue diplomas and lead to the same outcome as in the US.
>It is not right to remove intelligence or strengthBut that's exactly what it does. Taking away opportunities from people who had the potential but weren't born into a position where they could take advantage of it because they can't afford going to the right school.
Besides, are you poor because you have to pay income tax? I don't think so, people with less also pay it. Comparing intelligence and wealth makes no sense. One can buy the other, but not vice versa.
