Yes it is true that allot of the money leaves this area to go to the corporation headquarters home State economy. However when you consider that several of these large Corporations are based in our area and are sucking money from around the Country and World into our local economy. These are Local born Corporations like Costco, Starbucks, Amazon and Nordstrom's just to name a few. With this type of business strategy prevailing in todays consumer society, I would like to think that this area is very competitive in shaking some doe out of the global economy.
I closing I would say, “watch out for what you wish for” life’s a doubled sword and the side facing you cuts just as good as the side facing away.

Slab,

All taxpayers subsidize commercial fishing and sport fishing and treaty fishing.
