I don't think there should be a minimum wage at all. Government doesn't dictate the value of Labor the market does. If you raise minimum wage above the market value of Labor...

Plus if consumers have the money that money comes from them exchanging their human capital for wages for production. And again production always precedes consumption.

So what?? Are you claiming that there is theft involved in this?? Wealth is not zero sum. What is the wealth distribution in Russia, Iran, Red China, or North Korea?

The same effect applies everywhere. When the price of a commodity is increased less of it will be consumed. Increase the minimum wage and fewer entry level workers will be hired.
