The problem is that the US is a geographically enormous, and isolated, country. It costs a lot of money to travel, so we have millions of people who have never left the cocoon. And because they don’t leave, they don’t see what happens in other countries where they’ve figured out how to have a society through centuries of trial and error. The United States is two hundred years old. The European countries are thousands of years old. They’ve done a lot of troubleshooting.

You left three different responses to this post, so I’ll just go with this one. They send jobs elsewhere when taxes go up? Not when the state in question has the people capable of doing the technical work that their businesses depend on. You think the modern sectors (computers, biotech) are going to move their operations to backasswards states populated by people who think that Jesus planted dinosaur bones as a test of their faith? Manual labor may leave, but good riddance. The uneducated mopes who voted for capitalist scammers and religious fundamentalists can have those jobs. Oh, and why are all the decent paying jobs in the liberal states? Because we tax rich fucks to pay for education. Without that (and government subsidy), you don’t have a modern economy. Peace out.
