Double fucked then. Lower salaries and higher taxes.
But free healthcare and education. Plus retirement benefits included

In the us you put the money you save from lower taxes into a better healthcare plan, and get some nice quality care.
In the US, we pay more than any other developed nation for health care, and get worse results than most other developed nations in return. Individual healthcare plans are grossly inefficient.
Yeah, that doesn't really work out as well as you might think.
What's the % of total employee taxation at the 3x median salary level in say, SF or NYC?
not only that. you've a bunch of smart people here - who're blind. looking at absolute numbers as if they mean something.
I worked in a mid-tier us city i.e Austin, Nashville and my take home pay is comparable to what I earn in london for the same role level. and same level of company profile. never worked at a mega tech - but have worked for well known ones.
and better yet my standard of living is higher.
In London? You probably won't be buying a property anytime soon, unless you have a partner with a similar salary. Single and renting? You're leading a pretty comfy bachelor life
For perspective though, £90K is almost 3x the national median full-time wage . Total taxation at this level is 32%.
