Nah, we pay a ton more. Just don't get sick.

### REPLY:
&gt; we pay a ton more 
  
 for healthcare specifically, but [not in total taxes](https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-do-us-taxes-compare-internationally). There are reasons why [engineers get paid way more in the US than Europe](https://www.daxx.com/uploads/software-engineer-salary-worldwide-201920190226.png) (which is probably a similar story for other jobs).
