Which is fine because cost of living is different, and your taxes actually go into social programs like healthcare, education, and childcare.
Here, people are convinced that healthcare should be for profit. And education is going that way as well. So we have to pay thousands every year out of pocket just to see a doctor(my copay was 6k before the insurance I pay $600 a month for kicked in). And spend on average of $17k a year on daycare.
Meaning, basic healthcare and one child's daycare, has now eaten more than 50% of the take home.
But, I'd honestly be so much happier making a much smaller salary if I knew that a lot of the costs of my day to day were taken care of no matter what. If I lose a job here. I am unable to see a doctor until I get another job.
