<i>And who cares where the profits go? </i>

I care, and so should others in the US. Profits are what keeps a company alive and growing, making better product.

It's also the "spoils" of your hard work. In other words, paying off your assembly line workers is all well and good, but you needed to SPEND that money to have any chance of making any money. It gets you back to square #1.

The profits come back and are able to be reinvested in a cycle that feeds itself if properly cared for and grows your company.
