The thought is that if you start paying McDonald's employees $15 per hour then the guy who is making $15 per hour for a much harder job will want $25 per hour and the guy making $25 per hour will want $40.

It won't be long until wages go up across the board and with them prices will go up across the board, so you might have more money in your pocket, but everything costs more so you don't have any real increased buying power.
