That is sophistry at its best.
I can’t say that I disagree with this statement.
I guess I’m a communist to say that someone who owns mega-yachts, the new trend of giga houses, spends in obscenely stupid ways probably has more than enough money... he probably squeezed more than enough from the workers who got him where he is or exported enough jobs.

Don’t try to raise the minimum wage, but stop flooding the US with legal and illegal immigrants which reduces the wages of almost all Americans. And stop making stupid trade deals that are guaranteed to move more US jobs to cheap labor nations and then increase the number of Americans on government poverty programs.
Do that and supply and demand will set pay at reasonable levels.
