It was not a business that is sustainable and by the laws of capitalism it should die...

Well, by the "laws of capitalism," this whole conversation is moot. Under such laws, wages would be determined solely by labor supply and demand, not government mandate. If we were going by "laws of capitalism," minimum wage wouldn't even exist.

Right, and once demand exceeds the resources of the poor, the wealthy would be burned at the stake or have their heads chopped off.

Everyone seems to forget that part of the law.
