Well , I would say because 50 % of the income doesn ' t go into your pocket . Instead it gives you free public transport , free healthcare , 6 weeks per year of PTO , maternitypaternity leave , pension , free education . If you don ' t think those are advancements for the population , then I ' m not sure what to tell you what makes your quality of life better . I ' m from Europe , living in the US now . My household income is much higer living in the US , but I know my quality of life would certainly go up if I could ensure all those things I listed before . I ' d gladly pay the same percentage in taxes in the US if I could get the same things over here .
