Seattle Socialist Party demands $20/hr minimum wage; ban of part-time jobs
Shift Washington ^ | October 17, 2014

Often it seems as though there is no end to the left’s hypocrisy. And, the farther the left, the more apparent the hypocrisy. Such is the case with the Freedom Socialist Party, a national party.

The Freedom Socialist Party has strong ties to Seattle. According to the party’s website, it actively campaigned for Kshama Sawant in her race for Seattle City Council. It “helped secure union endorsements and donations, and near support from the King County Labor Council…”

The Freedom Socialist Party does differ from Sawant in one respect. You see, for this particular socialist party, a $15 minimum wage is just not good enough. Its national party platform calls for full-time employment (no part-time jobs allowed) and a $20 per hour minimum wage for all people. However, by every indication, the Freedom Socialist Party believes that what its platform states, and even what it helped implement in Seattle ($15 minimum wage), does not apply to itself.

You can’t rationalize an incorrect answer,

Sure you can, if you use Common Core to do the math there are no incorrect answers!
