1, 10k deductible?, thats unheard of unless if they worked for a startup with funding issues :) 2, It takes about an hour to find out the good school districts in any metro!. 3, 2x salary is real, Just compare the 2200 euro beginner salary ($35k yearly) mentioned in the post with US. An beginner american programmer can easily start at $60k. After tax it will be really 2x than in europe. Anyway with so many downvotes i think its not a good idea to argue further :)
