Where would you have working class people go for their housewares, socks and the like?

Working class people?...c'mon, if it wasn't for government handouts Walmart wouldn't exist as we know it.

But when unions demand over $20 per hour for menial labor,

Who contributes more to OUR overall economy, a union carpenter earning $30.00 an hr. or a (possibly illegal)non-union carpenter working for $8.00 spending what money he doesn't send back to Mexico at Walmart?

My business has done more work for union members than for non-union members...Why?..They have more money to spend.

According to some, now that I'm getting cheaper goods from WalMart I can then take that much I "save" and spend it elsewhere in the economy. Like, er, more goods from WalMart. Or lawn care service, wait that's done by illegals.

Ask your local union members where they're spending their money, and whether they're buying only American-made goods.
