THE $41,454 HEAD START: How Foreign Tech Workers Use Tax Advantages to Price You Out of Housing
Most Americans have ZERO clue this system exists. While you're forced to pay into retirement programs that may not exist, foreign graduates get 3 YEARS of tax-advantaged work in our most competitive job markets - keeping cash that's automatically taken from your paycheck.
THE MATH THAT HURTS AMERICANS:
• Tech salary: $200,000 (Google, Amazon, Meta)
• American graduate: Pays $13,818/year in payroll taxes $186,182 take-home
• Foreign graduate on work authorization: Pays $0 payroll taxes for 3 years $200,000 take-home
• That's $13,818 EXTRA CASH per year $41,454 total advantage
THE REAL HOUSING IMPACT:
This isn't about future benefits - this is about immediate buying power. In tech hubs like Austin, Seattle, and Bay Area:
>Even 100 foreign workers with this advantage = $4.1 MILLION in extra buying power
>They target the same starter homes and condos as American graduates
>Your forced payroll contributions become their down payment advantage
>They get liquid cash now while your money is locked in government programs
THE BOTTOM LINE:
They pay income tax like you do, but keep the 7.65% that's automatically taken from your paycheck.
This isn't about retirement security - it's about housing competition TODAY. That $41,454 head start lets them outbid you on homes RIGHT NOW.
This is why you're getting outbid.
This is why housing feels impossible.
This is the immediate cash advantage they don't want you to know about.
