This has to be a several part project.

1. Raise the wage to 15 dollars.

2. Legislation to outlaw factory like production of food. Say that each meal that is made has to be produced by at least four people (to prevent job losses).

3. Governmental subsidies for franchises in the interim transition period, three years.

4. Introduce an "income cap" for franchises, that no franchisee can make more than 20 times what the lowest paid full time employee makes.

5. Mandatory health care coverage.

Then this can go through.

Just raising a salary to 15 is a shallow attempt to create a just result.

This is a terrible waste of labor. Jobs are not the ultimate end of the economy, productivity is.

What exactly does this accomplish? Wage rates and profit levels are separate entities. Regardless of how profitable a company is, it makes no sense to pay a worker more than what he produces in value.

The worker earned what he produced. That is called a wage. The investors and the creditors, who are responsible for the capital investment, deserve the rest.

And I really hope this is a joke. Your model provides zero incentive for productivity, which for a society is the main goal, or should be. Giving people good paying jobs and putting caps on wages just for the sake of pandering to the lowest common denominator will run any economic model straight into the ground.

Why don't we just have the government take over all food production and distribution and every other industry there is out there, keep all money in the country, and distribute equally to all citizens at an amount the government determines is sufficient?
