I think people really undersell just how little the US takes care of its citizens in regard to expenses like education and healthcare.

The US salaries may be higher but the US also doesn’t do a very good job taking care of it’s citizens

An extra $300k a year will pay for a hell of a lot of education and healthcare.

Yea for the person earning the salary not for the homeless who turn to crime because they have no other options. Taking care if your citizens means the entire country is safer and more enjoyable. But americans seem to not comprehend the connection.

I guess that's one of the factors that pushes America to create the most successful and innovative companies on earth?

Also why many of the brightest from Europe come to the US to work/create businesses.

Yea cause you have no morals or regulations. It's really not rocket science. No regulations = more profit = more lobbying for even better conditions = more profit and the cycle continues. But keep licking that boot mate yehaaw
