Dem congressional candidate says $15 minimum wage is ‘antiquated’: ‘$30 is the floor’

Washington state congressional candidate and proud Democratic Socialists of America member, Rebecca Parson, is calling for a $30 an hour minimum wage because $15 an hour just isn’t enough for the working class and is an “antiquated demand.”

The gay activist and substitute teacher is running for a seat in Washington’s 6th District. That particular district has been a Democrat stronghold for 55 years. Derek Kilmer, the Democratic incumbent in the district whom Parson considers too conservative, was easily re-elected in 2016 with over 63 percent of the vote, according to Current Affairs.

The district reportedly has a radical history of labor organization. The area is still home to a substantial contingent of members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union. Parson is running on a pro-union platform that includes Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and a suite of other progressive proposals. She’s also a huge proponent of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s social policies and a homeless advocate.

“$15 minimum wage is an antiquated demand. It should be $30 per hour,” Parson tweeted, pushing her socialist narrative.

Seriously?! Dems want to pay teens $30 an hour to flip burgers?!

This is why I quit trying to understand dems/libs decades ago. They give me a migraine....

One of the most mentality unstable regions of the nation. Insanity is the norm.

Rush Limbaugh saw this coming, and I thought he was being facetious.

Thirty? Only thirty? Why not forty? Fifty? One Hundred? Why only thirty? After all, if we're going to bankrupt small business, why not do it really big? Big business will only be able to hire one third of the employees because after you get done with all the benefits, there's nothing left of profit. Maybe the lefties can take care of the stock market while they're at it.

The fact, and sad part is, everything is unionized up there to this day. From Boeing to restaraunt servers to grocery clerks. You dont work unless you belong to a union of some kind. It's probably the last union stronghold in the country

More pay = more union dues.
