I am a strong supporter of supply and demand, and normally would agree with an argument such as yours.
But when the gubmint artificially manipulates and perverts the system, then true balance is no longer possible.

This is not a wage problem, it is a manipulation and interference problem.
Get the artificial interference out of the way, allow the supply and the demand to balance out, and and wages will find fair equilibrium.
