Taxes arent the sole reason jobs go abroad. The cost of living is what drives the labor prices so low in other developing countries. That and their money is worth less than ours.
When you pay a vietnamese worker $ 0.10 an hour it is like paying somebody here $10 an hour. That is what people really dont understand. My Dads wife was from Vietnam. I know first hand the difference in cost of living. It literally costs pennies in US $ to do anything over there.
An example is Japan. Post WWII Japan went on an industrial revolution. We help them rebuild as many were out of homes and jobs. THeir cost of living was in the toilet. Everything used to be made in Japan, remember? Well they rose out of the ashes and came into the age of the 20th century. Their people earned more and demanded more until their cost of living was on par with ours. The last couple of decades if you notice the cheap stuff is now made in China, India, Vietnam ect. This is because they havent caught up with our cost of living.
While I agree completely with Timsr90, I believe this is a major driving factor that the government doesnt like the public to know about.
