“The fact is that they are attempting to tell the American people that they are so interested in this subject that they will go to any lengths, break the rules if necessary, in order to make their case. Let us understand what the case is they are trying to make. What they want to do is, they want to raise taxes, because the Democrats always want to raise taxes. They love taxes. They love big government. And the minimum wage is in fact a tax. It is a tax that is particularly cruel to working middle-class families because what it is is a huge inflationary tax within the economy. This means that you will pay up to 20 percent more for every meal you buy at a restaurant. You will pay up to 20 percent more for that which you buy as food on your table at home. You will pay up to 20 percent more for that which you buy in a store, because what they are doing is imposing an unfunded mandate which is in fact a tax. In fact, it is a big enough tax that the bulk of the minimum wage increase that they are talking about, the minimum wage tax, goes to State and local government: a billion dollars.”
