I am also going to say that Germany is not more expensive for a BASIC standard of living.
The average Hans Garbage man in Germany won’t lose his house if he or a family member gets cancer. His kids can go to college or trade school no charge if they want.
They get at least, two months vacation per year and their ice cream, proteins and produce are better. Not to mention you can smoke a doob and sunbath nude without getting arrested.

Of course, if you choose to accept a lower standard of living, pay tremendous levels of taxes, give up all sorts of Freedoms (1st and 2nd Amendments for a start) then you too can live in a socialist wonderland. Paying up to 3X what we do here for electricity helps too. The democrats are doing their worst to bring that to us here. All you have to do is look at California for an example where they are trying to convert it from a free society to a socialist Hades. They are stuck in between right now where they are driving out capitalist businesses but haven't figured out the rest of it. They can't pay for it without captive productive workers to support the parasites. Their road system certainly brings WWII Germany anyway to mind.
Someone should write a book about this, Oh wait! Ayn Rand already wrote that book. Where is John Galt?
Ayn Rand? Really? Now THATs funny. She lined up for SS and Medicare just like everybody else.. and I’m sure as you are a devout follower that you refuse SS and Medicare..
Have you really ever spent any time in Western Europe?
Where’s John Galt?
Hanging out in the south of France.
