That wouldn't help slow down IT outsourcing, or at least the bulk of
it, since the Indian IT guys I know tell me their compatriots in India
make about 20k/yr or around that, well in excess of minimum wage.

This is not my Indian friends are telling me - the average IT salary is
less than $10/year. Many Indians told me that if salary in India reach
$20k/year, they will return to India, because $20K in India is equivalent
of $100k in the NYC. Food, clothes, houses entertainment is much cheaper
in India.

Salary varies depending on experience and the kind of employer -as in
the US. Lots of people get salaries of $20K per year, and the ones
stating their desire are probably scanning for a suitable oppurtunity.

Simple. Corporations that are American, who wish to participate in the
American market and who's services and production are done overseas will
pay a Value Added Tax, it's done in all European Countries. Thus the
real advantage for any corps wishing to sell services and products in
the US and who use US labor are exempted in that they are already
contributing to the society. It's not new like I said and it does not
run against the GAT, our competitors are doing the very thing.

Some will call it protectionism, I would call it infrastructure
maintenance. Hell we do it with farm producers as do the Europeans. the
Chinese do it by requiring all foreign corporations to take Chinese
partners to the tune of 51% ownership. No one calls that protectionism.
