Gee, it's a good thing I've traded my gold for real wealth.

Hmm, he could just pay them more to be a good honest chap, and only get paid 100 times more and still be filthy rich.

There is merit to arguing against minimum wage increases. While modest increases in minimum wage do show modest improvements in poverty at some point increases in the minimum wage do lead to inflation. At the moment the minimum wage is about where the market would set it anyway. A modest increase, say $.25 per hour, might help and cause no real damage.

Isn't there a minimum wage in the US? IT's not relevant how much he earns, but how much he pays compared to how much he should be paying.

The minimum wage here in the US is about where the market would set it anyway. In the long term minimum wages don't decrease poverty, they just increase prices across the board. You could invest in education, charitable organizations, and infrastructure projects and fix the poverty problem much more effectively than artificially raising wages across the board.

Oh yeah? Are you going to rely on the people that have the money and consciously don't pay a living wage to their current employees to make these investments?
