There is no "free". someone is paying for this, and this someone is you through taxes, but most of it is the companies taxes in Spain. This makes small businesses lives in Spain hard, and make big corporates think twice before getting real big centers in Spain. This lack of competition is the reason you need to consider moving to US to have a good chance of a better life.

More money yes, better life is debatable. I moved from the UK to here, where it is generally better paid (not by a huge amount outside of London), but I feel I have a better quality of life in Spain.
