Why not make the minimum wage $100 per hour?If I had to take a guess I would say it is because you are delusional.
The fact that those five states do not have minimum wage laws does not mean that the federal mini9mum wage laws do not apply in those states.

Here is the applicable section of the US Code.
29 U.S. Code § 206 - Minimum wage | LII / Legal Information Institute
Now that I have established that, despite your delusions and/or lies, that every single person that works at any business in the US is covered by federal minimum wage laws you can no longer claim that the lack of a minimum wage law is to blame for the lack of rich people in the states you listed.
I guess that puts the ball back in your court, so I will repeat my question, how is McDonald's, KFC, or Pizza Hut, going to move their cooking to those third world countries? Do they have Star Trek transporters? Magic mushrooms? Hypersonic rocket planes?
I do have another question. Since I have proven that you are completely wrong about the lack of a minimum wage making things really bad, is it remotely possible that I am right?
No in fact you are COMPLETELY wrong in your belief that the government shouldn't dictate a minimum wage.
The reason being is that because in this country we are not going to allow people who are working to starve simply because employers don't want to pay reasonable wages, instead we will supplement those wages with welfare.
The ONLY question is where do we draw the line? Personally I don't think it's right at all that people are getting rich while their employees get MY tax dollars to supplement their low wages, apparently you think that its okay.
um because that's a ridiculous proposition that has no place in serious conversation?
