ha! the vast majority of the fortune 500 not only doesn't pay tax but actually gets big checks from the government every year.
looking at the whole thing from a macroeconomic/historic perspective, chinese labor is not really that far off base from what has been happening since the start of the industrial revolution. england was cheap later for continental europe, the US was cheap labor for europe, asia is currently cheap labor for the US and europe...
this cycle will continue. the standard of living is rising (though somewhat imperceptibly) in china and eventually communism will fall. where will the next cheap labor source come from? there are a number of other asian countries but most economists agree that africa is wide open.
