Superman's nice little town of Tenino must have an amazing McDonalds. Apparently, the only employee is the burger flipper. No one has to bake hamburger buns, or package them, or deliver them.
No one has to go get lettuce and tomatos from the farmer. No one has to manufacture or buy napkins or straws. The ketchup is just there somehow.
Obviously, the floors clean themselves, because if all of these poeple were making $15/hr, Supermans hamburger would cost a wee bit more than his figures show.
Increasing one persons wage will have no effect on this great nation's economy. But compounding the wages every step of the way will make for a pretty expensive burger.
So if wages go up, and prices go up accordingly, does our meat inversion technician actually gain any buying power, or will he lose buying power now that he is in a higher tax bracket?
