> I'm not convinced Americans pay less in taxes
They do. It's been quantified. There are many states with no income tax.
A 230k salary and corporate health insurance is going to put you ahead of almost every European software shop.
I love Germany and enjoyed my time there, but I choose to work in the states and have the financial security that can only be gained by saving money from a high salary.
Still, I would love to see some friction added to the layoff process in the US. Perhaps larger mandatory severance periods. Make layoffs possible, but not easy.
