It's sometimes said that if some people didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all. That applies to the Freedom Socialist Party.

In 2012, their official website was pushing for a drastic increase in the minimum wage. In fact, they pushed for a full $20 per hour minimum wage, even for the most basic jobs:

Well, if you are a socialist, I have good news: the Freedom Socialist Party is hiring! They must have competitive wages for a web developer, right? Not exactly.

The people who want people who flip hamburgers for a living to earn $20 an hour to do that are willing to pay an experienced web developer... $13 an hour.

Their ad, posted on both indeed.com and craigslist.org, can be seen here:

...And next to the ad on indeed is the Freedom Socialist Party's symbol, so there is no doubt that it is them.

Sounds like they are ready to be in Congress.

Hey, hey, if it weren’t for double standards, liberals wouldn’t have any standards at all.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There isn’t a liberal alive who isn’t a hypocrite.

[trubolotta]

Low pay, part-time and no benefits. Amazing how much money a socialist can save when it is their money they are spending.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Ah yes. Yet another example of the “Rules for Thee but not for Me” Liberal mindset. No wonder they want high minimum wages — they don’t plan on paying them.

[Sir Napsalot]

It's all for a good cause.

Comrades.

What is the scope of the proposed $20/hr minimum wage? A city? The state?

If minimum does go to $20 and taxpayers don’t approve, but sit on their hands and then do nothing about it, then let Social Darwinism do its job.

[Obadiah]

It is called Fascism.

[MrB]

You think that, but then you are giving them the credit of actually believing the “surface issue” they say they are pushing.

The issue is never the issue.

They are deceitful, not hypocritical.

[Veggie Todd]

Rules for thee, but not for me.

ACORN ". . . sued the state of California in order to be exempted from its minimum wage requirement, which was higher than the federal government’s. In its appellate brief, ACORN acknowledged that the more it had to pay each worker, the fewer such workers it would be able to hire. Of course, the same thing is true for businesses as well, something minimum wage advocates refuse to admit."

I remember this and how silly ACORN pukes sounded.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Liberal hypocrites? GASP!!! Tell me it isn’t so!

[MeganC]

No, you got it wrong. The compenasation is $13 an hour. I imagine that's on top of the $20 an hour in compensation they'll be paying!

[JimRed]

Using socialist and freedom in the same title says all that needs to be said about their level of deception.

[TigersEye]

Buncha cheapskate commies! I’m not going to work for that.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Good luck finding someone with all of those skills for near-barista wages.

[Defiant]

In the advertisement for the position:

"Do a good job, get a raise!"

[mowowie]

typical...

[TigersEye]

I wouldn’t sweep their floors for less than $50 bucks an hour.
