Reply #95: How much would a crappy cheeseburger cost . . .

[wpelb]

. . .if the minimum wage was twenty bucks an hour?

I guarantee you it would cost a lot more than it does now. I wouldn't be able to afford it, at least not very often. Neither would most other customers at Mickey D's. There would then be far fewer people working at Mickey D's or any other place where the primary labor force works at or near minimum wage.

Of course, if everything else started costing a lot more, and wages were likewise increased in all fields of employment, that double-sawbuck hourly wage would buy no more than eight or nine bucks an hour gets now.
