Why aren't we cracking down very very hard on any company employing a non-resident or even a temporary resident for a job that could be done by an American citizen, and would be if it were paying a living wage? Why aren't we incentivizing whistle-blowing regarding cases where non-residents are employed?

We have a low bar set for ourselves.

It can be shown with evolutionary proof re separation of a species by contrast that progress cannot happen with people making over 200 times other people. It won't work...you will have dogs barking at one another...thats what this is in my reductionist theory...a Kennel.

I suppose if you look at it that way. The other alternative is not do anything and then just cut all benefits when the money runs out. Which we could also do, it's not like there is any guarantee of SS.

It doesn't make any sense to tax a transaction.

While I don't necessarily agree with the poster you were replying to, there is nothing about "a transaction", specifically, that makes it any less sensible to tax. Investors simply wouldn't want transactions taxed.
