The largest welfare recipient in America happens to be the wealthiest family in America.

美國最大的福利金領取者恰恰是美國最富有的家庭。

The Walton family, a family that owns the largest corporation in America, Wal Mart, this corporation that they own.

沃爾頓家族，一個擁有美國最大企業沃爾瑪的家族，他們擁有的這家企業。

Walmart made over $15 billion in profit last year alone.

沃爾瑪去年的利潤就超過150億美元。

And yet, despite this massive family wealth, despite these very high corporate profits, Wal Mart pays wages solo that tens of thousands of their employees are forced to rely on public assistance in order to survive.

然而，儘管有這樣龐大的家族財富，儘管有這樣非常高的企業利潤，但沃爾瑪卻獨自支付工資，以至於他們數以萬計的員工不得不依靠公共援助來生存。

Maybe if you are a billionaire family, you may not understand this, but the simple truth is that no one in America can live with dignity, can raise a family on 11 or $12 an hour.

也許如果你是億萬富翁家庭，你可能不明白這個道理，但簡單的道理是，在美國，沒有人可以有尊嚴地生活，可以靠11或12美元的時薪養家餬口。

I am also sympathetic to providing small businesses with the tax relief that they need to offset some of the increased labor costs associated with the minimum wage increase.

我也很同情為小企業提供稅收減免，以抵消一些因最低工資增長而增加的勞動力成本。

Just as Congress has done virtually every time that it has increased the minimum wage in my view, the best way to help small business is to put cash into the pockets of low wage workers who will then spend that money in grocery stores, restaurants and small businesses all across this country.

就像國會幾乎每次提高最低工資一樣，在我看來，幫助小企業的最好方法是把現金放進低工資工人的口袋裡，然後他們會把這些錢花在這個國家的雜貨店、餐館和小企業。
