As someone who's lived a long time in both countries, I can assure that English people are equally stupid.
And university is increasingly expensive in the US not because of some elitist-led conspiracy to keep the masses undereducated but because of the greed of banks and the willingness of Americans to take on massive debt. And your point is contradicted by the fact that university and graduate program enrollment is still higher than it was 15 years ago.

Average American is insanely ignorant. Not stupid, or bad people, just clueless about the world around them.
It is really shocking.
For example, look at how many flat earthers and creationists there are, and there are places where creationism is taught as a valid theory.
There are smart people, of course, but they are a minority.
The upper class is doing everything it can to prevent the lower class from getting university education by making it impossibly expensive.
