Robert Gehl writes that Bernie Sanders, the soon-to-be former presidential candidate, whoops and hollers about raising the minimum wage.

Earlier this month, Bernielaid offhalf of his campaign staff – including a bunch of interns.Those interns get paid $10.10 per hour – the wage Obama set for federal contractors by executive decree last year.

That also falls far short of his $15 demand, but he is the only candidate this election cycle to pay his campaign interns anything at all.
