How is 150K cheaper unless you are in Bay Area may be. Companies will always find ways to reduce cost so you cannot do much about it. GP's point is that someone is getting paid 150K working for an American company in Argentina so that means they are not only NOT adding any tax revenue for US but they are still taking away your job (based on your argument). So which one is better ? a 150K remote worker in a foreign country who doesn't pay any US tax OR a 150K worker in the US who also pays taxes and contributes to the economy. In both cases, the job is not going to you anyway.
