Raising the minimum wage won't do anything but worsen that situation for everyone.
The employees in the U.S. who have worked for years and got pay raises to make $15 an hour are suddenly going to see snot nosed teenagers at McDonald's with no skills and no experience suddenly making the same amount as they are.
And they are going to be pissed and try to demand more money too.
In union states...the unions base their demands off of minimum wage as well so they will strike.
In other words...it will be the exact OPPOSITE of creating a business-friendly atmosphere.
People will lose their jobs. Companies will leave and go somewhere that they can conduct business.
Then your imaginary group of customers that have money to buy porn will now have NO money and NO job at all.

The closing of the Detroit factories was mostly due to two main reasons, the lack of modernisation and the huge wage bill which include healthcare.
And massive imports from overseas. Which is why the jobs created by billionaires are in places like Walmart and for low paid people.
The low paid can't afford to buy porn. The solution is to stop mass imports with countries who sell more manufactured products than they buy. China is dumping cheap steel on the world, that's costing jobs. The same as dumping cheap, everything you have to hand around you. Closing manufacturing plants and replacing well-paid jobs, with jobs in Walmart.
Add migration of unskilled workers, and when the middle classes get hit. Everyone gets hit.
Raising the minimum wage won't affect companies like Walmart, Costco, MacDonalds. They can't move offshore and still sell the Americans. Retail is stuck in the country it sells to, manufacturing, well that's mostly gone and the jobs with it.
