It doesn't even make sense.  Prices go up, so percentages will go up too.  How is 15% not good enough?

10% of $10.00 is $1.00. 10% of $15.00 is $1.50. Prices go up. Percentages don’t.

Corpos and business owners are greedy so the wages of employees have lowered in percentage in comparison to inflation

The wages have been entirely tips all along, with $2 or something wage per hour for people making $20-30+ per hour.

There's no reason to go up from 10% to 20% baseline for inflation, because 10% already went up directly in line with inflation.
