The problem is that there will be unsustainable minimum wages if companies don't give fair wages to long-time high quality workers who have developed some skills to do their jobs.

Around here, I'm appalled how many people get $10 or less an hour for jobs they've had for the long term, jobs where they're doing work that not any low skill worker could do.

Low income workers who are loyal and do good work should make $12 and hour and have the opportunity to work 35 or more hours a week. Then they can become tax paying self sufficient contributors to society.

That’s called the “labor theory of value.”
