Here we go again. The man who has no idea how the world works (goes without saying) is trying to make it harder for businesses to survive. All so he can shape this country in the image of his perverted mind. Unreal

companies already have to report all employees pay... and the government knows race and sex from a variety of sources from census data, drivers licence data, ect.

I dont see how this is new.

The Kenyan does not have the authority to do this. He’s a president, not der Fuehrer. All that “messiah” BS has obviously gone to his head. Come on 01-21-2017! Americans need some relief from this SOB.

It’s not about “pay equality”. It’s about control. It’s always about control. The left wants to control YOU.

“....The left wants to control YOU....”

Every American should read the Communist Manifesto which will explain PART of Obama’s anti-American perversion.

This is about show for the lunatic leftwing base. Anti establishment fervor is in full swing on both sides and with elections approaching, establishment Democrats want to be seen doing something for their cause.

If Bruce "Caitlin" Jenner works for me and I have to report his/her pay by gender, which gender would he/she be?

How is a company supposed to report pay by gender when a person's gender has effectively become a self-determined state that can't be objectively measured?

States must reject and nullify these unconstitutional and outrageous Obama dictates. It’s up to the states and the people of the states to assert their constitutional state sovereignty.

Obama thinks he has all power. The Constitution severely limits the feds to only those powers delegated and enumerated to the feds by the states via the Constitution.

The Constitution is Obama’s boss. Outside the powers granted the feds by the Constitution, the states and the people are Obama’s boss, not the other way around.

Stand your ground, states. Stop tyranny NOW!!!!

They might report it, but I assume that now the government will punish businesses for not doing things the way Obama wants them done.

In Obama’s perverted world - and the way he lies about the implications of the rule - he is just trying to “help” businesses. Kind of like the big bad wolf trying to help the three little pigs by trying to get them out of the house.

“The Constitution is Obama’s boss. Outside the powers granted the feds by the Constitution, the states and the people are Obama’s boss, not the other way around.”

If only voters felt this way. Unfortunately, it appears that a majority of voters could care less. Makes me sick.
