If you'd like to argue for a pure market system then please direct the poor to starve on your door step. Personally, I prefer having this social safety net but it comes with the responsibility of keeping employers from abusing the system as well with things like minwage. That is why how this is evil (read: unfair to other employers).

As the article states this guy gets DC bus rides for free. That annoys me. Homejoy users should pay the full cost of getting their home cleaned. It does not make sense for tax payers (including myself) to be providing a subsidy for home cleaning service.

Is this really the a wage floor or just indirectly abuse of the a social-safety net for cheaper services by the wealthy?
