  1. The US rewards competitiveness. For example, average software engineer salary in the US is $120k with a ~30% tax rate. France is $60k with a ~50% tax rate. That's why we answer emails at the grocery store.

  2.  @comdo831  Yes, but we provide all the tools needed. I was born into poverty (food stamps, free school lunch, etc). I took out some student loans (and paid them back!), went to state university and am now well above median income. Zero resources, zero connections. Do something stupid like have kids or run up a bunch of debt? Gonna have a bad time.

  3.  @FrozenMonkeyG  If you're an unskilled laborer, this is wonderful. Otherwise, not so much. There's a reason the US gets most of the top talent in the world.

  4. Exactly. When you get 2x the pay, expect about half the time off.
