I have no problem with that as the economy will boom. Your problem is you are incapable of rational thought. If you look at minimum wage and go back to when it was first implemented then $20 per hour would be a tad under what keeping up with inflation would be as it would be closer to $22 per hour. Of course if you did that then many places would need to close as the value of their service or product they produce is depended on cheap labor - which you seem to like. The value of their business surviving is dependent on taking advantage of a cheap labor pool.
