so u want to double the cost of living? that is what would happen, prices would go up. only 1 who gets rich off this minimum wage trick is govern. they get a % of each dollar u are paid. doesn't matter that u are worse off. plus states get a % of the dollars u spend buying stuff. u ain't gaining ground thou. just paying more out.

i don't have time to explain it but way back ppl earned $1 / DAY yet lived better than now and did more with only 1 person's income too. u are actually rich compared to them, but complaining. now ask yourself why?
