I'd never thought this would be that difficult to understand. No, I never said they have no bearing on the final product cost. But let's review:

Median wage in China: around 2000 dollars, year
Median wage in the US: around 39000 dollars, year

Minimum wage in China: around 124 dollars a month (this in the province with the highest minimum wage)
Minimum wage in the US: 7.25 an hour

So, again, the idea that outsourcing is caused by taxes is nonsense.
