Liberal economics by intellectual Pygmies.

Raise the minimum wage by 400% and the price of everything else will jump accordingly.

Ground beef is already $3 to $5 a pound.
Raise the minimum wage and it will jump to $15 a pound or more.

A basic McDonald Hamburger will go to $4 and small fries will go to $6.

The annual salary for Rep. Luis Gutierrez will jump from $174,000 to $696,000
