I bet that was a large part of why you got so many upvotes.. :p
But it's more like when you're selling half as many burgers[1], you need half as many workers too!
[1] Naturally, if the wages are doubled, there's a hefty increase in prices too, which lowers consumption, which lowers revenues, so.. Yeah.
The moral of the story is: you can't force prosperity to happen. Quite the contrary, you have to LET it happen.. but our rulers prefer just looting us as much as possible, and there we go.
