Cartoon: Minimum Wage

This cartoon refers to the trick Senate Republicans tried to pull this week.  After the GOP suddenly reversed its stance on the minimum wage issue, Senate Dems knew there was a catch.  Attached to the Republican minimum wage hike bill was a tax cut that will only help the richest two percent of all American households.  When it came time to vote, the Democrats told the Republicans to bite themselves.

Oh, and by the way: had the Democrats buckled and supported this GOP bill, it would have added roughly $2 trillion to the National Debt between 2012 and 2021.  So if you were wondering which party is more fiscally responsible, now you got your answer!
