Because the resources and risk belong to the owner that owns it.

Minimum wage is all about employers not wanting to pay some employees or just plain ripping them off. If people would act right and pay a living wage laws wouldn't be needed.

Of course they would they're no different from anyone else. If everyone could pay $0.01 / gallon for gas and $1.00 for a car they would too. Why do you think low price places like Wal Mart exist? Because people want to spend as little as possible.

Business owners don't pay $1 / day because they don't want $1 / day employees. With employees just like any other goods or service you usually get what you pay for. Want a better/higher skilled employee, you're going to pay for it.
