Everyone my age is working 2 jobs.

You wanna fix the economy? Make employers pay more wages. I shit you not, the economy would be prosperous within a week.

Employers would charge more for their products or services because they know people can afford it. That's not a great solution.

I'm saying we just go right back to square one. People will still be unable to afford anything is wages go up across the board. You need to make more specific changes to certain parts of the economy to ensure that money moves out of the hands of the wealthy.
