You misunderstood my point. Imagine you did that, you doubled their money, and you made it permanent - all the bottom 90% get a huge wage increase. What does this do to the cost of goods? It makes everything more expensive! So they are no better off that before. That's basically what is happening today - wages are going up, and everything costs more. "Wage Growth in the United States averaged 6.20 percent from 1960 until 2022, reaching an all time high of 15.31 percent in April of 2021" "Wage growth for workers in lower-wage industries has slowed from 11.4% in August 2021 to 7.6% in January 2022." The worst part is that inflation is growing faster than wages, presumably because there is more going on than just wage growth.
