What market demand are you talking about?

What do you think doubling the minimum wage is going to do to people on
fixed Social Security incomes who already struggle and don't get proper
cost of living increases, if they're lucky enough to get them at all? 

For some reason you don't seem to get that if you double the minimum
wage to $30,000, wages across the board are going to go through the
roof.  And that means that everything you buy is going to go up in
price.  Then suddenly with your shiny new $15 per hour salary you
are just as poor as you were the day before.
