Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

As a foreign national getting a privilege to work in USA, H1b holders should pay extra tax.
Govt is assuming that you have intent to live here long term, as working visa is dual intent. Another reason is that despite these taxes, there is no reduction in immigration demand, so they have leverage.
Your paycheck also includes taxes that pay for roads you'll never drive through.
That is fine because I am free to drive through those so called roads if I want/need to because I have paid my taxes.
People who don’t pay those taxes drive on those roads, too. A lot of taxpaying is just...taking care of your local (and not-so-local) community. Including the elderly around you.
Mafia taking its cut
Expect no one forced you to stay where the mafia is. Moron.
That’s how the mafia works. If you want to do business on Main Street, pay up.
Because it is USA and you will pay
when you get GC and you are over 65 yrs old, it will be helpful. just bcoz u r on h1b, doesn’t mean your employer is not filing your green card in future.
Everything is just income tax dressed in different labels.
This is the correct response.

I wouldn't call it fair but you signed up for it willingly. You can choose not to work in this country
I am not complaining dear Salesforce. I am asking for a reason as to how and when can they be helpful. I don't mind continuing to pay them if they are helping/will help us in future. If you don't know the reason, say so.
There is no reason. You pay the rent your landlord charges. Plain and simple.
