This was an idea I'd sent to my Senators and Rep back in 2009 when the last round of ineffectual minimum wage increase was being discussed in congress.

Increasing "money" is pointless if the purchasing power of the increase is summarily reduced by Corporate America.

With this kind of plan, the need to ever really increase the minimum wage again will be reduced. If a business is successful, because of the labor of its employees, the employees should have a legal right to share in the wealth of the business model imo.
