Why is it taboo in the US to ask someone how much they make?

In the Filipino culture it’s almost normal. TV show hosts ask contestants “what do you do and how much do you make?”
With Americans in general it’s extremely taboo to ask anyone that question. We make assumptions based on the answer of “So what do you do?” but it’s a huge no no to ask someone’s salary. Why do you think it’s so taboo in the US?
