Actually, this is changing. In recent years, once-free colleges in Europe have started charging money -- and it is increasing in cost rapidly (in the UK at least). This is because, under the (American) capitalist view, education is WORTH something -- a lot in fact. And, doling it out for free is unfair to those who don't have it.
As for the statistics, I've seen others post them here before, and I simply don't have the inclination to go looking today. If you, living in NYC, can't recognize the obvious validity of the statement that fags/lesbos are richer from your daily experiences, then I guess at some point me or someone else will go do the research for you. Maybe later I'll post something on it.
