I will illustrate how stupid this is with math:
Min wage in 1982 was $3.35. Dow Jones industrial average was $1046. Dow is up 2732%.
If min wage went up 2732%, it would be $91.54 now.
Imagine if you had to pay a teenager $92 an hour to flip burgers - MINIMUM. How much would a burger cost?
Stupid, but I can see how it appeals to Bernie fans. Make it look like a good stock market is a bad thing.

Wage gain should hopefully meet inflation. But it should not match with the stock market. Minimum wage
