Yes it may have an effect on prices, but there are second order effects. One example is that it would also have an effect on a huge number of people's ability to pay those prices. A customer base that can afford goods will likely increase sales. Increasing sales can increase revenue. Markets are complex dynamic systems and often the key to getting a healthy economy is removing choke points where money doesn't flow. Not paying people enough kills demand. An economy with low demand is dying.
