Senator Elizabeth Warren (who called for a $22/hr minum wage) pays interns $0 per hour

If one is going to grandstand and pontificate about the failures of the current minimum wage, and how $22/hour is the only fair rate of pay for unskilled workers, perhaps it would make sense to pay one’s interns such a wage. Or how about even a wage.

If this going to be a signature issue for Ms. Warren, if she is going to paint herself as some sort of moral crusader she should at the very minimum pay her interns the current minimum wage. But she doesn’t. She doesn’t pay them anything.

I don’t blame Ms. Warren for hiring people who will work for her for free, but she’s advocating a policy which would decimate hundreds of thousands of small businesses (not to say completely wreck the Main Street economy.)

So long as she advocates for this kind of silliness, she at a minimum should walk the walk. Really what kind of person wouldn’t?

Come on, don't let us down!!
