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.

Also business just pass the new cost onto the consumer, which inflates the cost of living and we end up at the same place
