"You are making it seem, to me, that you are doing them a favor by hiring them and then making them work a lot of hours and not paying them."

"It is a penalty on employers who work their employees excessive hours."

"you are helping them in one respect, but you are holding them down in another."

"the very people that you all represent, low-income people--they are the ones who need it the most."
