I am middle class and if you take away my money, how do I frikken hire you to do construction work on my house?!?!?!

Isn't that what this whole thing boils down to? Bob..wanna point out where my reasoning is off?

Also, all the good businesses that I have worked with over the decades always stress that "The Customer is the reason we are here and is the most important person". And the really good ones mean it.

Why would I deal with this small business if their morals and ideals are that business is more important than me, the customer.
