The problem is the floor was long met and passed the ceiling .. hence businesses leaving the US and going elsewhere .. or replacing said workers with automation

Those are all BS arguments and you know it. First, you have no credible economic basis for that opinion on an appropriate minimum wage level. Second, American workers can't support themselves or their families on what plutocrats and the business community want to pay in this country. Finally, Larry Summers has soundly debunked your automation argument using sound economic analysis.

Show me in the Constitution where the government is granted the power to set wages?

No problem. Read the Commerce Clause. Wages are part of commerce...Checkmate!

Your state's rights argument was settled by the Civil War and the Commerce clause specifically applies to states TOO. If you and the business community persist in engaging in that job destruction extortion racket, it's only going to be a matter of door before the American people get fed up with all of you and slam the Free Trade door (i.e., market access) in your faces for abusing it ad nauseam. Market access is a privilege, not a guaranteed right that the business community or investors enjoy. If you think Free Trade Agreements would prevent the U.S. from abandoning them at any juncture, think again. The American people are not the business community's slaves. Not now, not ever!

And while government has tried very hard these past 80 years to become the new slave owners of the American people .. it does not validate the immorality if slavery be it physical or economical

This is such a bullshit argument since the only slave owners this society and other societies have ever witnessed were in the private sector, not the public sector. Until the public sector's role in society was corrupted by plutocrats over the past 30+ years, it has always been meant to serve as a bulwark/counterbalance to the predatory and exploitative elements of the business community. Your tragic misreading of socio-economic threats and projection makes me laugh.

Here are the countervailing economic arguments against the job loss argument you and the CBO made. Within that citation you will find a meta-analysis of the likely outcome from raising the minimum wage...zero effect The consensus view from that technical analysis is that it would not have the economic effect that either you or the CBO claim.
