you dont necessarily need to pay taxes where you "reside". it depends on if there is a double taxation treaty between your country of citizenship and where you are "residing" .
Yep, but that 70K is mostly for engineers and contract programmers on assignment overseas, and as you said living there 24X7. (I think you can visit the U.S. 2 weeks a year).

You don't need an offshore corporation to take advantage of it.
