No country is ever going to be able to create a functional local software economy if every good engineer get sucked out of the country.

In many ways the current system is cruel to every international company which forces their local wages to compete with the United States.

Also, why shouldn't those companies be forced to compete with US wages? Do only Americans get to have nice things and a strong purchasing power?
