10. Then you're probably looking in the wrong place
"I want a Republican's viewpoint as to how this policy is FAIR."

I'm not really qualified to speak on their behalf, my take is that it's as fair as unregulated capitalism itself. Labor would simply be treated as another commodity, subject to the same laws of supply and demand as any other resource or material. Also, minimum wages could be seen as a burden on potential employers who might hire additional willing workers to do a particular job for less than the regulated minimum wage were it not in place.

"I want to know how they go about convincing the people..."

Propaganda works, and it costs money to do right. The capitalists have the money and they've been doing it right for 30 years. Their task is made easier by only having to convince the authoritarian followers (aka the GOP rank&file) of the soundness of their position, as that will often give them elective pluralities in our apathetic nation.

"... in their language."

Oops. Sorry. Can't help you there. Try asking in Freeperville.
