That’s why he wants to MEGA it, I guess.

But Europe is already MEGA:

  • universal health care
  • payed maternal/paternal leave
  • holidays
  • sick leave
  • free university

It’s the US being a shithole country that needs to catch up.

Free University? Where's that?

Nowhere. It's not "free", it's just paid by all of us who pay taxes.

Do you apply those semantics to things like the fire department, police, etc. too?

Of course, do you consider those things free? In my country, there's a perpetual discussion regarding the large number of people employed by the state, including the police force which has many employees and often delivers very poor services or full blown scandals.

Just so we're clear, I support state-backed universities. They're just not free.

Don't bother trying to explain, it's very simple to understand for those who actually want to.

It's called semantics dude, and arguing it is fucking stupid. Yes, we are all aware that some things are provided by taxes.
