> Let's be clear as to what a minimum wage actually is, it's simply and exclusively making employing unproductive people illegal.

It also gives raises to those whose productivity exceeds their negotiating power.

At the expense of equal losses of employment from people competing for those jobs.

I think it means that if a company had money for $14/h for labour, and it originally hired 2 people for $7/h, then if minimum wage was raised to $14, one person would be fired and the other (presumably better) worker would get a raise. But total available capital for labour for the company did not change.
