You don’t get anything for free. Your 40%+ taxes give you that “for free.”
I’d rather pay more for school and keep more of my earnings than have “free” school and high taxes forever.
Americans have more disposable income than the countries with “free” university. Student debt is temporary, confiscatory taxes are forever.
Study comp sci in France, graduate and make €40k per year before taxes. Study comp sci in the US, graduate and make $100k but with $80k in debt. What’s the better deal? Remember that $100k also includes health benefits, vacation and all that.
That €40k probably has an effective tax rate of 35% while the $100k likely has Ann effective rate of 20%.

School isn’t “free” — you pay dearly for it.
