Nothing, it's a wonderful idea.
Here's how it works.
Jay works hard and makes good money. Obama takes a big chunk to give to Joe who makes minimum wage so he can have a living wage. That's only fair.
Jay decides he would be OK with only a living wage.
Jay lays-off ( Ben and Jerry) who make a living wage.
Before Obama came along you had 4 people working. Jay making more than the others.(that's not fair) Ben and Jerry making a living wage,(that is fair) and Joe making minimum wage. (that's not fair)
Now you have 4 people making a living wage......oh wait
I like the classroom example
Joe studies hard and gets an A and Dave screws off and gets an F
So the teacher even things out and gives Joe a B and Dave a D so he passes
next time around, JOe figures why bust my ass for an A, I will work just enough to get a B but Dave again fails and this time Joe is pulled down to a C so Dave can pass. Next time Joe finds another class and Dave doesn't have anyone to pull him out of failure nor has he learned how to pass on his own
