RAESE: Well, my opposition to minimum wage is that I don't agree with minimum wage because I think minimum wage is something nobody can live on. I think it's too low. I don't like government setting price controls, I don't like government setting wage controls. I want a better wage for everybody.

And in order to get a better wage for everybody, we have, in this country, we have to start lifting jobs and manufacturing where they should be -- not like Manchin and Obama. They enjoy people working for $7.25. Quite frankly, I don't. And I think when you create the demand -- and that's a very important word here; it's called "demand." Demand in this country right now, certainly with the Obama policies, is running a large unemployment line right now, and as we know, minimum wage is one of the worst things possible for unemployment.

So I'd like to raise the playing field because we need to set, we need to set, an environment for jobs in this country by cutting taxes, cutting spending, and putting American manufacturing first again. And unless we do, that, we're always going to be mired in how low can we go. I'm exactly opposite that. I'm very positive on how high we can go, and I know a lot about creating jobs in my lifetime; I've created a lot of them.
