   Actually, it's not a bad question. If raising the minimum wage produces   
   prosperity and economic growth then if $10 is good then $100 is ten times   
   better. Let's all be upper class.......   
      
   That is unless the basic principles don't work the way the proponents of   
   increasing the minimum wage say they do.
