I'm smart, so I pay $5 for a screwdriver from a local mom and pops store instead of $1 for the same screwdriver from WalMart.
You and I are the smart people, everyone that buys that screwdriver from WalMart is stupid.
Union workers that make a complicated piece of equipment like a screwdriver, need our money.
First, that is an exagerated price comparision. Second, Wal-Mart is only cheaper than the mom and pop store until that store is driven out of business. Third, that mom and pop store operator is your neighbor that spends money in your restaurant or your store.
