"the notion that these business owners can just dig deep in their pockets and pay all this additional money is ludicrous."

"A wage hike to $15 per hour would cause small business owners like me to not only stop creating jobs but to eliminate jobs."

"A Federal, nationwide mandate to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour will put us right back to where we were months ago."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman."
