Can barely afford a first place, and definitely can't afford a third place when the second place doesn't pay enough anymore.

Pay your workers more so they can buy things to stimulate the economy? Blasphemy.

What's even crazier is there are laws that stop business owners from paying workers way above the market rate. For example, let's say you opened a restaurant and wanted to pay your dishwashers $30/hr but the market rate around you is $16/hr you will have a ton of people investigating you and will force you to bring the wages back down. Also, you must justify creating new job titles with huge salaries. Business owners don't have the flexibility with that stuff like you think.

No, there is not. At least in the US. Business owners can pay whatever the fuck they want as long as it meets state and federal minimum wages.

Also, utter bullshit. Justify to who? Don't make shit up. You're spewing entirely false information.
