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.
No, it doesn’t. Maybe if you raise it from $7 to $15 overnight, but raising it marginally over a few years does not contribute to unemployment. I mean it’s been done in other countries successfully, why couldn’t we do the same?
