It's pretty easy. US has scarcity via VISA scarcity.
US companies have a smaller hiring pool and more competiveness.
US companies in Europe exploit workers from all around the world at the lowest price they can and call it "market salary" and "that's how things are".
Then they'll rave about fighting inequality and "the wage gap" but no one will address that in the US you have double the salaries for usually less taxes.
And no, what is done with those taxes is generally not good enough nor "way better than in the US" to justify the travesty in terms of high taxes.
Housing crisis' abound and landlord classes and politicians are one, protecting their own interests.
