Where on this earth does Payne get his information? The ultraconservative comic books? The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, NOT $15 per hour. Heck, it is not even the much proposed federal minimum wage of $10 per hour.
And ANY increase in that wage must first be voted on and approved by the Republican Congress, not a very likely proposition in an election season! Then and only then, can it be signed into law by any current president. And even that $7.25 has not been raised since long before president Obama was even voted into office in 2008!!
I know that these political editorial cartoons are all (on either political side) exagerations of the truth to make various points, but the cartoonists should at least start with some kind of truth, even the ultra conservative ones!!
