If people really don't to like to support outside of Bali owned businesses that is their choice but I don't get it myself nor am I able to work out how on earth you would set about doing that. Even if that is the way you feel how about the many Balinese drivers who work for Bluebird?
In Australia it is pretty well impossible to support only companies owned in your home state even if you wanted to and except in the case of perishable foodstuffs I don't know why anyone would seriously do that.
Bali is part of Indonesia and as such of course money goes to the central government and companies based on other Islands. I have a feeling this is to do with the old urban myth "All Balinese good but all Javanese bad".
