Sounds like the economic equivalent of the "Lake Woebegone Effect"
from NPR's "Praire Home Companion" where "All our kids are above average."
It doesn't surprise me that Pluribus didn't catch the mathematical and economic absurdity of setting the minimum wage equal to the average wage. Anyone who praises Marx has a very dubious grasp on economics and history.
Fuzzy mathematics and ditzy economics are often masked by calls for equality in everything and sympathy for the poor. Having been poor myself, I know that the road to prosperity is traveled by hard work, not government handouts.
