Minimum Wage Proposal Comic Strip
Storyboard Text
- Hi. Welcome to the Shake Up Restaurant. How can I help you?
- Thank you, but I'm afraid it's not enough.
- Well, the state mandate for you.
- $15
- Here's your money.
- Well, what my boss said is true. A $15 minimum wage would get many workers a living wage. It still not enough to support a family especially single parents like myself.
- Even though few states have a $15 minimum wage as of 2023, it's still a long way to lift 900,000 out of poverty.
- I read somewhere at CNBC website where it shows the data on $15 minimum wage would push many state minimum wage laws towards a living wage.
- Mommy!!
- Can we go out to the aquarium this week?
- But Mommy. You promise!
- I know, but I still need money to support you guys.
- Sorry, kiddo. I have to work this week.
- Hi, Kids!
- The main characters have a similar issue in regard to economic inequality. Even though it's a different situation, the Beggar's Opera shows how people are willing to go for extra money.
- Not having enough money to support a family isn't something new. I remember reading the Beggar's Opera that dealt with a similar issue.
- In Beggar Opera's
- No Papa. I love him and I want him!
- Then, what's good to use you?
- Polly, you should kill Macheath so we can have the money to support this family.
- What happened to Polly?
- What? She's so ungrateful. You need to get Macheath arrested now so we can get the reward money.
- She ran off to meet Macheath I amuse.
- I already plan that.
- I have a proposal that would knock your socks off.
- What if instead of raising the minimum wage at every hour, the government could tax cuts us employees.
- No, it's not. I read a Forbes website where the author suggests that tax cuts would help many employees gain more money without impacting businesses and jobs.
- Okay, tell me more.
- Well, that's insane.
- Okay, I'm listening.
- Instead of cutting taxes for rich people and corporations, the government cut taxes for employees to get increased income to support families, save businesses, and continue hire workers.
- Well, you see. The author said that applying the trickle down economic theory to workers getting tax cuts isn't a bad idea.
- Well, let's see what the the government official says.
- I'm still not convinced.
- I have an announcement to make. For now on, the federal government will make tax cuts for employees who currently make minimum wage.
- Congress already makes a law and I'm going to sign it immediately.
- This will impact the economy and the employment rate in the near future.
- The Next Months
- Welcome to the Shake Up restaurant! How can I help you?
- I'm so glad that tax season is coming up because the government will make tax cuts for minimum wage employees like myself. After this, I will spend more time with my kids.
- This is a great proposal because I won't spend more time working to support my family. Now, I can relax and look at the fishes.
