- Working professionals making low 6 figures (espicially in states with income taxes) pay much closer to EU taxes than most people think.
- Non professional jobs (service industry and blue-collar) are taxed very lightly, but have worse benefits, less job protection, and an extremely limited social safety net.
- Government jobs have better benefits than other non-professional jobs, but often the pay is not great (I suspect no better than EU, but honestly have no clue what e.g. a postal worker in the EU makes).
- The very wealthy are taxed very lightly compared to the EU.
