Socialists Push For $20 Minimum Wage But Won’t Pay Workers That Much

Socialists Push For $20 Minimum Wage But Won’t Pay Workers That Much - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
The Freedom Socialist Party wants the minimum wage to be $20 an hour. 
However, they don't feel compelled to compensate their own workers with that kind of cash.
The party is looking for a web developer, and posted a job listing on Craigslist a week ago and Indeed.com yesterday, and it's been raising eyebrows on social media.
Although the average annual salary of a web developer in the U.S. is around $62,500, the Freedom Socialist Party only wants to pay $13 an hour, which would be $26,000 a year. Except that the party won't hire someone full-time, so their next web developer's total compensation won't even be that modest chunk of change. Perhaps they're just trying to protect their employees from the temptations of "capitalist greed."
In case it vanishes or gets amended, the entire listing is below:
