College is not "free" in the "modern world" whatever that means.

Obviously I was wrong, but it is free in many european countries. Payed for by tax payers. The same tax payers that once enjoyed a free education.

Minus the ones which went to US and other countries with lower taxes.

Yeah sure, but far from everyone drives a car and still everyone pays for the roads. College is just one of these common goods we should all pay for.
