There is very little reason that a smart or at least not stupid youngster
in
the USA can't go to college. They may not be able to go to an Ivy League
school or even a major university but between community colleges and
small
state schools affordable education is available.

Exactly, so you can't say that the higher taxes in Europe are because
of more public universities. We (the U.S) have excellent, inexpensive
(by university standards) universities.

I never said the higher taxes in Europe were because of public universities.
I was responding to the assertion made by somebody that the poor can't get
an education in the US because we don't provide inexpensive, state
subsidized higher education.
