The US has 3x higher salaries, larger houses and a much higher quality of life?
I work as a senior engineer in Europe and make barely $4k net per month... and that's considered a "good" salary!

And you have (almost) free and universal healthcare in Europa, good food available everywhere, drinking water that doesn't poison you, walkable cities, good public transport, somewhat decent police and a functioning legal system. The list goes on. Does this not impact your quality of life? Do you not care about these things?
How can you have a higher quality of life as a society with higher murders, much lower life-expectancy, so many people in jail, in debt, etc.
Europe on the other hand can't even manage to defend itself and relies on the US for their sheer existence.
