“The fact is that minimum wages imposed upon the States will cost this country an extra billion dollars in State and local taxes. That is a huge tax increase upon the American people, and in my view the fact is that the Democrats know exactly what they are doing. They detest the idea that we have been trimming back government. They hated the idea that the other day we passed a bill on the floor that cut $23 billion out of the spending of government, because the fact is they want more government and they want to raise taxes. This is a tax increase. What the Democrats are proposing, every time they stand up and talk about minimum wage increases, is a tax increase on the American people. They want to impose more and more and more taxes so that they get more and more and more spending. That is what they are talking about here. Middle-class families ought to look at this and be appalled. This is the way they ran the House when they were in the majority.”
