I'd say we get more for "the same" taxes in EU.

  Sure but it also doesn't matter as I see it. Medical care in the US is pretty good when you're got decent insurance and aren't bothered by copays (I see top specialists in under a week, average ones in 24 hours, etc.). Vacation is negotiable and when you make so much more you can literally take a year off between jobs. Larger tech companies provide good parental benefits and, again, you can always take unpaid time off. There's a separate social argument but from a personal point of view it doesn't matter. You just need to shift your mindset from money being a scarce resource to money being (directly or indirectly) the thing you use to get anything else you value.
