Taxes in Euroland are already quite high.
A quick google[1] reckons people on low incomes spend as much as 35% of their income on healthcare alone, before pay any taxes. You need to be earning a lot in Europe before you get even close to that.
If you're on a low-to-average income then Europe is probably better. If you're rich then America is better.
