Not exactly. It is about getting the best return for money spent on
services. The folks who come to the US on H1B or work in MNCs may not
necessarily the ones most in need of work. Its more about reducing
production costs and less about poverty alleviation. If CEOs &
shareholders could not care less for their own fellow citizens -there
is no reason why they would give a damn about citizens of another
country.

At 30-35% tax rate, you need an income of $150,000 p.a to pay income
tax totalling $50,000. Why on earth are you complaining with that kind
of salary?

Tax is levied as a percentage of income. And it turns out that even if
we wearn 1/5th US incomes -we pay the same tax rate as in US (approx
30-35%).
