Someone used the figure of 50 000 dollars as an income that may not be taxed if a guy had a few dependants. I don't know if that is true but, if it is then there is a problem. You can't raise the wages past the value of the service or else it simply will be done out of country. Or in country by illegal aliens under the table. Increased wages also increases inflation which hurts the value of the money. I also don't know how you increase middle income salaries in order to have them meet the tax floor.
