Well, here is one job Obama can take credit for, and I promise you he will more than happy to do that.
The Brainless Liberal, I mean Freedom Socialist Party from Seattle, Washington wins Powder Wig’s Hypocrite of the Month Award.
From the Freedom Socialist Party 2012 Platform the group proudly campaigns for a minimum wage of $20 an hour, as seen in bold below, excerpted from their 2012 platform.
Government that helps the needy, not the greedy
Restore funds and programs that aid seniors, the poor, children, single mothers and the homeless. No cuts to Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare. Raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour. Provide a guaranteed annual income. Free medical care for all, including reproductive services and abortion. End foreclosures and expand low-cost public housing.
I reckon talking the talk is a lot easier than walking the walk, as the socialist group is advertising for a Web Manager, offering a more real world $13 an hour. They want burger-flippers to make $20 an hour, yet they are openly, hypocritically advertising $13 an hour for an experienced web developer.
You just can’t make this stuff up! Their ad, as posted to Craigslist:
