> yes taxes are high, insanely high by american standards - but in the end it more than evens out. plus life is less stressful.
The US tax revenue per person is about the same as the tax revenue per person in Western European countries. (The US collects more taxes per person than Canada.)
That means that the US govt has the money to provide europe-class services. It doesn't, but that's not due to a lack of money.
Note that US GDP per person is significantly higher than much of Western Europe.
