This will spur inflation without appreciably increasing the average quality of life, as the "living wage" you refer to will have to be increased further to allow for the increased cost of living. How long will it remain a pleasure to pay more? Many of those on fixed incomes simply won't have the option, either. Are you willing to starve the elderly in the name of your "ethnic cleansing"? Woops - guess you'll have to raise taxes too . . . While we're at it, what about all of those teenagers and college students who take summer jobs away from adults? Most of them live with their parent(s) and do not have to support themselves. If we just raised the minimum age of employment to 21, and raised the minimum wage to $10/hr, adult unemployment would evaporate, right? It would be a pleasure to pay more to rid the (largely service-industry) workforce of its youthful and incompetent elements, while allowing formerly destitute adults to feed and house themselves. Of course, we wouldn't have any of these problems if those annoying bleeding-heart brown people hadn't taught illegal white religious-wacko immigrants how to kill game and grow corn. Shoulda' just killed them and burned their boats, I say.
