so minimum wage workers ended up with LESS money, so they certainly are not better off, business owner is not better off, and neither is the tax payer as that $125 reduction in earnings likely has to be covered by government assistance.
So like I said, it's a complete failure.

Think with your own mind.
Companies raise wages to pay BETTER than minimum wage to be competative with those paying minimum wage.
We've been through this before in California you're spreading false propaganda.
Example: I have a store with 2 minimum wage employees ($5 an hour) and one manager ($6 an hour) working a total of 120 hours a week. Minimum wage goes up to $6 an hour. Instead of paying 3 employees minimum wage @ $6 an hour, I raise the wage of the manager to $7 an hour, taking it out of the minimum wage bracket. Instead of having 3 minimum wage employees, I now have 2, and a manager @ $7 an hour (above minimum wage).
See how that works? Use your mind.
