Wouldn't the cost of living and taxes in those countries normalize the incomes a little bit?

Expenses in Switzerland are very high but taxes are much lower than in the u.s. and wages are significantly higher than in the u.s. I can't help but feel like I was sold a lie when I lived in the u.s.

I'm not sure how other parts of Europe compare.

In fact it would drop Switzerland below the US. The cost of living in Switzerland is substantially higher than most of the US.
