Well, the more wages go up, starting with minimum, the more prices will increase; that’s pretty basic. Supposing everyone worked for $1-$2 per hour; prices would have to drop like a shot.

Wages can go up without price increases. It depends on productivity. Historical data does not show a correlation between increases in min wage and inflation. Prosperity does not require leaving the working class in the dust.
