Correct. The economic arguments against a minimum wage are correct, but they are also irrelevant.

The Congress, or any agency it may create, has NO Constitutional authority to impose a minimum or maximum wage.

Actually, by law, what an employer pays workers is set down annually in a form W2 describing precisely how much was paid. The knowledge is necessary to determine exactly the income to be taxed.
