10. Triple it

Raise it by $1 an hour every 6 months until it's up to $20.50 an hour (where it should be based on inflation) then chain it to inflation so it automatically goes up.

I remember when they screamed "the sky is falling" when they raised it from $4.25 to $4.85. Cheeseburgers were going to cost $20 if they did it.

Guess what, now I can still go buy a damn cheeseburger for a buck, just like I could 20 years ago.
