Those things arent free sean, we just decide thats what we want our tax dollars going to, not extra dollars for rich people, who don't need them.

I would think that claim is a bit hard to verify. One other thing that I do not understand: I'm not sure anyone can absolutely define who is part of the "industrialized world" and who isn't.

the reason our public schools don't do well in comparison with other developed nations is that our poverty rate is much higher and schools in impoverished areas typically perform significantly worse.

There's no sense arguing with a person that has no interest in your actual side of the argument. He just makes up what he thinks socialism and liberalism is to instill FEAR in his audience. Fuck him and his strawman socialist argument.

and, it's almost always tied to how affluent the community is where the public school is located.
