This is what happens when you increase your minimum income to $25/hr. Burgers will cost $30.

I always find it funny when people ask for higher minimum wage and then are surprised when they have less purchasing power.
In my country it's even easier to notice just by looking at the taxes on salaries.
You have the portion the worker pays but also an extra the business pays (that I assume most people aren't even aware of)
So a business pays 123.75% for the worker to get something like 80%.
And then they still don't understand how just increasing minimum wage every year is making more people dependent on the state.
And this is only the most direct taxes on salary. It would be hilarious if it wasn't such a sad state of affairs
