Quote	"Some opponents argue that wages should be decided exclusively by the free market. But the nation decided otherwise in 1938, when Congress created the minimum wage so the poorest workers would have a chance at a decent living. And it's hard to recall similar free-market complaints about the tax code, which is all about picking winners and losers — homeowners over renters, for example, or investors over workers."
