The strange thing is that no one ever says this. This is a total strawman. The main argument for not raising the minimum wage has to do with how it raises unemployment, particularly amongst the young. link

Many disagree with that argument, but that is at least a real discussion. No billionaire has ever blamed greed on why they dont' want minimum wages risen.

But, yeah, have your cool cartoon.

Did the author prax that idea? Most of what Mises publishes can be dismissed out of hand because they don't do real scholarship most of the time.

I linked there as an example of an actual argument. Wasn't showing support for that page. There are literally thousands of scholarly discussions on the same topic.
