Can you really not see further than your nose? It's not that simple.

Doesn't this add value to this country? Also, more profit = more taxes being paid. If our government was not all broken, those taxes would help pay for services needed by some of our citizens, too.
Say you owned a small shop that made hats. You could sell them locally for $5, because that's all the locals were willing to pay you, or you could sell them on the other side of town for $10, because there was no hat maker there, so those folks were willing to pay you more for your hats. Wouldn't you rather sell them for $10, knowing that the extra profit would help you modernize and expand your small shop into a larger shop?
