Which is $12 an hour more than any other candidate is paying their interns. But you enjoy your little meme.

Hypocrisy nonetheless.

No more or less than any of the other candidates. Actually...wait...it is less hypocritical, and here's why.

1. He pays current market rate for a job he could get done for free. But what about that $15 min. wage he demands?

2. Answer: He wants $15 an hour min. wage by 2020, FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, with a starting place NOW of $12, which is what he pays his interns. So he pays his interns what he wants the min. wage raised to NOW, with an eventual min. wage of $15 in four years. And they got a cost of living increase from $10.10 in the spring, to keep up with what he calls a current living wage. So, when viewed in light of the fact that $15 is a four year goal with $12 being the starting point now, it's directly in keeping with his policies.

Meanwhile the rest tout rebuilding the middle class and use unpaid volunteers as interns.

I'm not saying I agree with his policies, I am merely pointing out how your accusations of hypocrisy in this case isn't accurate. But have fun with it anyway.

Thank you. I was going to point out that's still far above minimum wage, but you said it much better.
