Email Doodlings: Hillary Clinton Hypocrisy: “…and my interns for free”

hillaryclintonequalpayAh yes, Hillary Clinton, that paragon of Income Inequality (“…we were dead broke when we left the White House”) that earns $225,000/hour when speaking at colleges (thus perfectly fine with incrementally making it just that much more expensive for poor students to go to that college) to have a net worth of $32-50 million.  And while she lambasts Income Inequality from that perch of the top 0.001%,  she has the temerity to NOT pay her staff at least $15 / hour (reformatted, emphasis mine):
I met you several years ago on the “Sustainable Communities Initiative” program.   I am working on some updates on what has happened since program was started.  I am doing some research right now.  But, I think you will be very interested once I get the info. together.  Anyway, I am on the Hillary Clinton mailing list.  They sent me an email today.  They are looking for fall Fellow and Interns for the campaign.  Now, considering that Hillary is calling for a minimum wage of $15, you would assume that they would be paying that $15 an hour.  But, when you click on the application link.

“No prior experience is required except a willingness to learn, work hard, and help the team however is needed. The fall fellows program is an unpaid volunteer opportunity, and runs from Thursday, September 10th to Thursday, November 19th
That’s right.  Not $15 an hour, not minimum wage, no benefits, no healthcare, absolutely nothing.   Clinton has come up with a new way to deal with income inequality in her campaign.  No income = No Income Inequality.
Ayup, that’s an Alinsky Socialist fer ya.  Fine for thee but not for ME!  Double standards abound for those who truly believe that their crap don’t stink on ice.
