Socialist Party pushing $20/hr min. wage. offers job for $13/hr

[Youch]

Damn liberals, they can't ever practice what they preach:

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.​

Libs have not a clue about most things. Why is that? A mental disorder?

Yes.

From birth.

Like Downs syndrome but usually the Libs are able to function somewhat adequately until they need Conservatives to bail them out of trouble.

Here, I just thought of a perfect illustration.

during the Hurrican Katrina disaster in New Orlean, Mayor Ray Nagin and co. thoroughly botched the city's response, leaving people dying, injured, wet, shelterless and hungry.

He was at his wits end until a Conservative stepped in and took over to coordinate things properly.

And boy was Nagin happy to see him!

Liberal Ray Nagin is in jail, is he not?

WMD in Iraq has now been "officially confirmned" has it not?

The Laffer Curve was proven some time ago, was it not?


Good video. heehehehehe But it will NOT resonate.....emotion trumps intellect every time, thus our dilemma.

Bill Maher made a great point about this.



Either you raise the minimum wage or you keep subsidizing huge companies that pay their workers peanuts.


Unless, of course, you're prepared to let Americans simply starve.

Then maybe a group that is pushing for a $20 an hour minimum wage should actually pay their employees $20 an hour, instead of $13 per hour.

What a great idea!

Billy Wharton, Co Chair of the Socialist Party ..

Obama's opponents have long described him as a socialist. But what do actual socialists think about Obama? Not much, says Wharton.
"He's the president whose main goal is to protect the wealth of the richest 5 percent of Americans."
He and others say the assertion that Obama is a socialist is absurd.
"It makes no rational sense. It clearly means that people don't understand what socialism is."
Definitions of socialism vary, but most socialists believe workers and consumers who are affected by economic institutions should own or control them.

so·cial·ism

noun
noun: socialism

1. a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

nothing in the definition of socialism relates to private companies keeping their profits OR paying workers min wage ..

as for the rest of you morons, KMA. that means you red star boi ..

But, we don't want to kill you already. We understand socialism just fine. We also understand that it has failed every time it has been tried. What is amusing to us is you morons think that if you try it just one more time you can get it to work. You are the embodiment of the classical definition of insanity.

Socialism is very similar to Capitalism. Except the Government owns the businesses and the PEOPLE vote for the wages. It's why Socialist Firemen get WAY more money than America. You can't demand a fire. Welfare has nothing to do with Socialism or Capitalism, it's simply what American Voters chose to support. Yet we can't seem to police Welfare fraud because of the bigotry and profiling involved.

In Austrailia, the Government is manipulating Socialism just like in America we are manipulating Capitalism. It's really basic to see if you are not bias.

That being said, most Americans I talk to don't know what Socialism actually is. They don't know the difference between Communism and Socialism. And they think Welfare is part of one of the two. Sad day for American intellect.

And it has never worked anywhere it has been tried. Those governments do real good till they reach a critical point where they run out of money and then go kablooey. But hey, ignore history. You guys are good at that.

I didn't vote for Obama. I'm not a socialist. However, all the RW's that believe he is a socialist are dumber than a rock. Are you a rock?
The co chair of the socialist party says Obama is no socialist, he should know Rocks, not so much.

That's just a variation on the tired "True Communism has not yet been tried" argument to excuse the clusterfuck results produced by Communism. What socialist would want to claim credit for Obama's performance?

Socialists are universally "Progressive" in their outlooks. That's why I'm asking. Progressivism has murdered more people in the last 120 years than all of the religious and Capitalist initiated murders in the last 2000 years, is why I'm asking.

and ? Obama isn't a socialist, the Socialist Party says so .

write that down and study it.

 

[Truman123]

Those who claim that Obama is a socialist have to explain away two things.


Growing inequality.


A rising stock market.


If Obama is a socialist, he's been terrible at it.

 

[Clementine]

I would love to see an in-depth study done on wages paid by companies who are owned by Democrats and ones owned by Republicans. One would expect that the liberals already pay people what they call a 'living wage' without being ordered to do so by government. If not, then what are they waiting for?

I will preface that Obama is not a socialist. However, your first point is incorrect. In socialism, the reality is that there is MASSIVE inequality. That might be against socialistic principals but nonetheless that is how the end result presents itself when tried in the real world.


Theoretical socialism is irrelevant.
