According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_State... you earn >$400k a year? If so you shouldn't have any problems in NY.
If you do make $100k, you'd be way better off in Texas:

In other words, we're comparing apples to apples here.
- beagle3 8y agoI didn’t say I had problems in NYC. I just said US taxes can be as high or higher than European taxes. Yes, if you make $100k you are better off in Texas. There are way more jobs that pay $100k (not to mention $400k) in NYC than in Texas though. I’m not sure what the apples are or what we’re comparing; if it’s tax rates than the US isn’t as low as people believe.
- morsma 8y agoEvery one is better off in Texas compared to NYC financially. Apples to apples. But it's true, if you insist on the Euro experience, you'll have to pay for it...
