It's already the case. It's called a CFC, or Controlled Foreign Corporation and it is taxed exactly as it if is a US owned/based corporation.
However the taxes paid by foreign individuals in foreign countries is the responsibility of the those individuals, not the corporation. Just as it is the US. It is also the reality is the corporation isn't replacing their us workforce with 1-1 skilled people (at least not at the outset) they are replacing 1 for 10 outsourced and still spending less.
Heck I could try the same thing without going over seas. How about I replace my IC designer with 10 recent graduates. Should I pay the same FICA for the 10 graduates, am I really cheating the IRS? What if my IC designer wasn't 'in-sourced' but died (bus, heart attack, whatever)?
Frankly large companies that do stupid stuff *should* be eliminated. The normal course is bankruptcy and liquidation.
If 10 recent graduates can do the same job and still cost less then I say have at it. Of course I think they can't and I charge accordingly.
