As much as it costs for employees to be paid sufficiently.

It seems awfully dangerous to think that we should pay people less because otherwise things would be expensive.

This is exactly why/how wealth is moving up and up to a smaller proportion of people at the top

You're assuming that's why I was asking.

Am I agreeing with you then? You didn't make your position very clear. I'm just stating what I think about wage inequality and class gaps.

If you're asking for an actual number of the price of a Cheeseburger and a Shake? I don't know, but it may be a number that's ultimately better for society?

I was asking a simple question. There are people here who know economics better than I, so I wanted to know what would happen. People just assumed I don't want others to have a good life when that's so far from the truth.
