True, but look at it this way: I'd rather spend money that goes back into my own country, so that there will be more infrastructure, production and specialists here instead of overseas. This will benefit me and everyone else in the future: faster and cheaper shipping, better customer/tech support, more customization, cheaper upgrades, etc. Things which are harder to get when you pay an American company,which then pays a Nevis company, which then pays a Chinese company, which then pays Taiwanese and Chinese companies and so on...
