"you can only charge what the market will bear" EXACTLY!! And if your cost of doing business is higher that your profit margins guess what? You close the the store, everyone is out of a job.

Ever do business projections Tony? Ever own a retail store? Ever try and plug in $38,000 as a starting wage in a service oriented business and see a positive bottom line?

Impossible. A dream. American consumers won't pay for it.
