Us workers demand high pay because they have top pay high taxes. The US -and the majority of the countries in the world- have to deflated (cut taxes substantially) in order that their workers could compete by earning less and not have a low standard of living because their governments squeeze them to death.

Oh oh! India is now ahead of New Zealand. We have been slipping down the economic league as we continually vote ourselves poorer. <they could only pay the salary at the Indian prevalent level ($40,000 or so), and a dozen or so applied, > They should out-source to NZ as US$40,000 or so would get thousands of software nerds. Yiwu, to honour you again, [I am practising honouring the excellent servants of the great and wonderful leaders of the new world rulers], India, with their new prime minister who seems a nice bloke and who is economically literate [unlike our current excellent gender leaders in Helengrad], should do very well. Perhaps I should have bought the apartment I was checking out in Bangalore in 1997 - it was cheap! I hear prices have risen a lot and it would have been a much better investment than Globalstar.
