alt Hacker NewsIf the Democrats were smart (they are not) they could landslide next election (and 5 more) by running a simple campaign, “Americans First,” the core of which would be to slap 1000% tax of any job which is outsources. Your company wants to hire someone from X, for every dollar paid in salary you have to pay $100 to the IRS.

So are you saying that no multinational company ca have employees overseas?
This is really a poorly thought out proposal.

The funny thing is that this same 60LPA person will happily take a 300k job (assuming parity) with a 50% tax cut because the standard of living is still quite high in maybe Atlanta or Pennsylvania compared to Hyderabad or Bangalore.
In the above scenario the federal government is collecting zero taxes for the employees and the shareholders are getting richer.
By cutting H1Bs the Americans are actually losing money by outsourcing jobs and creating a larger divide between the rich and the poor. Something that the rich actually don’t have a problem with and something people just seem to miss.
