> Salaries are cheaper while social charges and taxes can be higher.

That doesn’t even come close in explaining the gap in salaries. ~10-20% in extra taxes (also remember that your employer is paying for your health insurance in this US, which is about 10% or so of your pre-tax income in Europe in many countries) still leaves an extra 50-100k or so.
