Using your Bangladesh scenario, I would get each of my twins their own CRad brand computers at the lower price of $399 each verses getting only one unit at $600 each(if made in the USA) .

I would actually end up spending more ($798) which brings in more sales tax , and both my children get to learn on their own computer.
Who does the sales tax go to?

Who pays the unemployment and welfare entitlements to the laid off worker because you spent $399 and not $600 on each and provided jobs for Bangladeshis and not Americans. Who's crime rate is going to go up becuase of increases in unemployment? Now add another $1,000 for a security system and higher taxes for more police.

Look at the cost, not the price. You don't suffer in the short term because of the subsequent lower price. You very well could in the long run.
