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.

But does Momma Sherman approve?
So 98 percent of people under 25 will lose their jobs and be made into wards of the state A whole new generation of voters dependent on govt welfare checks. Plus lots of older people too.
A great experiment that just can’t fail.(/elstupid)
Isnt it Just WONDERFUL having people like Kashmir Savant...Looking out for our best interests.?
Prices go sky high....labor pool shrinks...and dies.
wow what a bright future this would be
Some people want a part time job! Granted, most are looking for full time but not everyone.
Ban, ban, ban. It’s all they have.
Everyone has to be exactly the same
25% of young adults in France can’t find work. Most have to go to the U.K. to get jobs. This what socilaism does.
Some people WANT part time work. Is the left really that stupid? Sorry dumb question.
Why not $40 per hour and 8 weeks paid vacation? They just come up with some wild stuff.
Go for it Seattle and create a ghost town.
Good way to kill your fast food source and your jobs at the same time. The Left seems to have a real problem with reality and math. I suspect it’s because math is either right or wrong. You can’t rationalize an incorrect answer,
Aw shucks, if they want to enter the reallm of fantasy, why not make it $200 or $2000 an hour?
Bring back the 100 hour work week!
I was talking to a buddy a couple of days ago. He told me one of his daughters applied for a librarians job at the Harold Washington Library in Chicago.
The library only hires people for jobs below 30 hours, so they don't have to provide Obamacare.
Even a socialist like Bill Gates won’t pay $20 an hour if he can get cheaper labor from India.
The only jobs will be for robots and robot technicians.
Liberals are little kids walking around wearing mommy and daddy’s clothes. They pretend like they’re grown-ups but they aren’t.
My son has a part-time job. College kid - couldn’t do full-time. Employers are making due with part-time workers to avoid having to provide obamacare. Make everyone full time and lots of businesses will go under. Make minimum wage $20 and the same is true. Add them together and .....
The left can play all these games with minimum wage but the next frontier is hyper-automation and robotics and the more they increase wages for these low-end jobs the easier it will be for the business cases to justify robots instead of people.
these jack asses just don’t get it.
