I work remotely from the US - technically I am a consultant, I have my own local corporation and pay my own PAYE - this means I pay tax where I live (ALL of you should do this it's where you use the services your taxes pay for, it's the right thing to do). Here in NZ it's pretty easy, 20 minutes a month for the paper work, and I get to write off the costs of doing business.
For my US employer (who treats me as an employee), I'm relatively cheap - benefits that are extra in the US (medical etc) are included in my taxes, my marginal tax rates are 10% lower that I'd be paying in California (we don't have a military industrial complex and its associated pork to support)
