Wages have to be where people can afford items and rents

A simple Economics lesson says if there more product, it costs less from competition. If the producers pay more, they have less to work with. They lessen their profit making ability by paying more. Unskilled work isn't worth $15 hr.

Start from the top cutting their money and distributing more the lower we go

If you earn more you can spend more, therefore increase production and profit.

Perhaps if the minimum wage were lowered ,it would create more hours per day.
