>There's no need for "empirical studies",

In which case you're preaching pure, deontological bunk with no relation to the real world whatsoever. You are literally claiming your ideology is the optimally moral economic system despite refusing even the concept of empirical evidence or justification.

>If you still don't get it, imagine the minimum wage being set at $1000 per hour. If it's all good, then the higher you set it, the MOAR good will come out of it, right?

Don't be ridiculous.
