Please cite where they said that minimum wage laws cost these people their jobs.

If you can’t afford to pay someone an already offensively low cost of $7.25 an hour or even $15 an hour, I mean, how badly is your business being run?

Exactly!

This is essentially wild-west sweatshop extortion that is exploiting desperate people. It is totally unethical and unjust.

These companies should be offering a reasonable wage for a reasonable amount of work. Not 0.80$ for an hour of work (that is totally unjust).
