Regarding Minimum Wage:
It is much better to enact a minimum-wage law even if it deprives these unfortunates of work
better that the state should support the inefficient wholly and prevent the multiplication of the breed than subsidize incompetence and unthrift, enabling them to bring forth more of their kind. - Royal Meeker, U.S. Commissioner of Labor, under Woodrow Wilson

something went wrong with Meeker's theory. Instead, we got: "better that the state should support the inefficient wholly and prevent encourage the multiplication of the breed than and subsidize incompetence and unthrift, enabling them to bring forth more of their kind."
