Don't praise our educational system

Praise me ;)
We don't exactly learn poems by Robert Burns in school, it is just that I'm very interested in the old literature of England and Scotland.
But I agree with the universal health care and child care. I don't quite understand why most Americans don't want this. Of course, we pay by high taxes.

I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."

I think you answered your own question re: why Americans don't want this. We don't want to pay high taxes. (Well, in my opinion we already do - I just don't want them any higher!)
*snort* That was good!
