Huh it is hypocritical of them, when they critize McDonalds for low wages and do the same.the
No one said their position was wrong because of their hypocrisy, you have made a straw man argument.
They feel that the legally mandated minimum wage should be $20.
Currently the legally mandated minimum wage is not $20.
So it isn't hypocritical.
All the people going on about it being hypocritical are using a fallacious argument anyway.

You'd have to triple his IQ for it to be offensive. As things stand, it's merely expected and kind of sad.
Um.... it is a political advocacy group. I am suprised that would offer any salary at all. A person should do it out of a love of the cause not for something as crass as a wage.
Practice what you preach.

They are preaching that the minimum wage should be $20.
Yes, they are preaching that it is wrong to pay people less than $20/hr. They are then practicing paying people $13/hr. They suck.
/facepalm
They are preaching that the minimum wage should be raised to $20 an hour.
The minimum wage is not $20 an hour.
Erm, that's it.
Why are they preaching that it should be raised to $20/hr if they don't believe it is wrong to pay less than that? If they believe it is wrong to pay less than that, then why do they themselves try to do so? Erm, that's retard.
A while ago Warren Buffet was saying that rich people should pay more in taxes. It is not hypocritical if he personally doesn't decide to pay more.
Stephen King has said similar in the past. Again, it is not hypocritical if he personally doesn't decide to pay more than he is legally supposed to.
It's the same for this socialist group. They campaigned to get the minimum wage raised to $20, but it doesn't make it hypocritical for them to pay less than that whilst the minimum wage is lower than $20.
Yes, yes it is. It is exactly hypocritical. He just said that rich people should pay more in taxes. Then he decided not to pay more. If he said that he himself SHOULD pay more but then he doesn't, then how do you think that's not hypocrisy? He is not doing the thing that he believes people in his position SHOULD do. His excuse is: cuz THE LAW®
Hypocrite: "a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs."
Something is hypocritical if you don't do what you say that other people should do. Because the law currently doesn't require you to do that thing doesn't make not doing the thing you preach to be non-hypocritical.
Yes. Yes it exactly makes them hypocritical. If you try to force other people who aren't you to pay more money for work, and then you personally try to pay less money than that, it exactly makes you a hypocrite.
If you say people "should" do something and then you do the very thing you "souldn't" do, then that is being a hypocrite.

when are you gonna apply? :awe:
That is, unless you happen to be the Freedom Socialist Party's Web Developer.A leader of Seattle's Freedom Socialist Party is defending the group's search for a new web developer paying $13 an hour, even though it's fighting for a $20 minimum wage.
"Isn't it hypocritical?" KIRO Radio's Dori Monson asked Anne Gurry Hodderson, International Secretary for the group, in an interview Monday.
But Hodderson says the Socialist Party simply can't afford to pay more...
"We've worked for decades for the most exploited workers, and as you know their wages have fallen steadily and that makes it very difficult for us to pay out $20 an hour," she says...
"Workers create the profits, they create the wealth," she insists. "We deserve all of it..."
I think some people in this thread don't understand what a hypocrite is. Practice what you preach.
If I were to claim we should ban all guns and then, in turn, own guns, saying "well, they aren't banned yet!" isn't a valid excuse for my hypocrisy.

Socialist party defends paying $13 hour an hour while calling for much higher minimum wage
That is, unless you happen to be the Freedom Socialist Party's Web Developer.
In which case, you don't deserve 'all of it.'
You don't deserve $20/hr.
What you deserve is $13/hr.

WTF are you talking about. I am a big supporter of increased minimum wage but this group hypocrisy is extreme. Nothing the OP posted was wrong, this group demands $20 wages for McDonalds workers and does this is hypocrisy. You are blind if you can't see that.
Again, none of those are examples of hypocrisy.
