I think that's just corporate propaganda. Sounds smart and forward thinking, vaguely alludes to unforeseen consequences, dismisses the idea without any real rebuttal. Workers quite literally fought and died for our labor rights, and business REALLY wants to claw back those gains. Throughout America's prosperous period from post-WW2 up into like the 80s or 90s, minimum wage was always higher in value than it is right now.
Taxes were way higher on the rich, too. That's another propaganda point they try to claim won't work but clearly did. Maybe it would be a good idea to consider who benefits the most from the idea that it's just not possible to reasonably make sure people are taken care of. It's almost ALWAYS the rich.
