Why should low-paid car drivers be the ones sharing their hours/pay with the othwerwise unemployed, while highly-paid professionals don't?
This is exactly the argument for minimum wage: by raising prices and limiting # of employed (which could mean more people at fewer hours for the same total pay, OR fewer people at more hours for the same total pay), there is more funding for the overall labor pool, instead of more worker-hours sharing a smaller pie of funding.

That's only a relevant question if the policy being proposed is actually likely to achieve a transfer from highly-paid professionals to the unemployed. Which is certainly not obvious, let alone consensual.
