A socialist party that wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $20 per hour is currently advertising a job for an experienced web developer paying $13 per

NO equal pay for equal ignorance.
And they probably don’t even see the irony of their actions. Sad.
Wimps! I propose $50.
So much for leading by example
I agree. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Washington another state on my “never again” list.
Sadly -- or not -- the rally was held at a local beach below the high tide line. Despite Algore's efforts to halt the process, the tide did come in, decimating the Demoncrat population in that city. Oh, the horror!
So what will experienced people who already make $15 to $20 per hour make?
This is perfect. Can’t make this up.
That could just as easily be a picture of the Gope in action.
I WOULD, just for the entertainment value, like to hear their justification for it...
It would be fun to apply for the job and demand $20 per hour.
Do t forget, that’s is a maximum threshold of earnings while still collecting go t handouts. I doubt you will see it raised past that. You could work a few hours a week and still get govt money. Pay raise!
That’s been my question to those who support the $15-$20 an hour minimum wage. If a company employs a skilled worker making $20 an hour, he won’t be happy when the unskilled worker is making the same pay.
The major constitutional problem with federal minimum wage is the following. With the exception of the federal entities indicated in the Constitutions Clauses 16 & 17 of Section 8 of Article I as examples, entities under the exclusive legislative control of Congress, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to establish a national minimum wage.
The only reason a federal minimum wage exists, imo, is because corrupt, Constitution-ignoring federal politicians have been successfully exploiting the idea of higher and higher national minumum wage in order to win votes from low-information voters, voters who dont know about the federal governments constitutionally limited powers any more than the people that elect to office do.
So what the misguided Seattle Socialist Party needs to do if they really want a higher federal minimum wage is the following. They need to work with both state and federal lawmakers to propose a minimum wage amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states choose to ratify the proposed amendment then Congress will have the specific power that it needs to establish and regulate a national minimum wage and the Seattle Socialist Party will be a hero.
Absolutely right.
Which is why we’d better get down into the gears and wheels of the GOP at the lowly precinct levels and TAKE OVER THAT ORGANIZATION. If we leave it to the same self-serving and venal idiots who brought us here, America as we have known it IS OVER!!
“So what will experienced people who already make $15 to $20 per hour make?”
$15 to $20 per hour. Those making $25 and above will be placed re-education camps, or shot.
I’ll see your $50 and make it $100. You capitalist exploiter of the toiling masses. How can a person live on only $100,000 a year? (snicker)
