Actress Gwyneth Paltrow to Obama: I'm Concerned About Equal Pay For Women as a Working Mother

Last night Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow hosted a fundraiser for President Obama and the Democrats at her ritzy home in Brentwood, California. Paltrow is worth $140 million dollars and was raised in a rich, privileged family before making her way to the big screen. But that didn't stop her from classifying herself as a "working mother" concerned about equal pay for women, an issue Obama has been dishonestly harping on.

Would she say the same thing about Reagan, Bush, Palin? No? Oh, so she's selective in who she wants to have as a dictator? She's an idiot. Pretty in a thin wispy kind of way, but an absolute idiot.

Ha! Soooo true.

As a friend of mine used to say to people ... I know you’re rich, but why aren’t you smart?

I’ve learned time and again that wealth and intelligence have very little to do with one another except in the rarest of circumstances.

If that company existed, they would have incredible profit margins due to lower labor costs than the competition. Every other company would be trying to steal their qualified, lower cost labor and would offer them more. Competitive free markets have a miraculous tendency that way.

Well, Robert Downey Jr made over $50million for Iron Man 3, and she didn’t get anywhere near as much.

That right there is the essence of political liberalism.
Give the elite all the power they need to make things perfect for everyone.

It stems from the essential wrong view of the nature of Man.

And therein lies the call for a “Barf Alert”. OMG! I guess these people really are that stupid.

She tries to pretend that she has an IQ above 80. So far she is not very convincing.

Lucky for us we’ve “turned the corner” and “There isn’t a single segment of the economy that isn’t better off now than it was 6 years ago.” Uh, not so much in my neck of the woods.

In Silverman’s case, she pays a “strap-on” tax.

I’m thinking she is lobbying for the attorney general position, if not that, she has her eyes set on an ambassadorship appointment to stupid.

Sounds like she’d be a perfect fit for amb-ASS-ador to the Island of Moronica.

If they enact Equal Pay legislation, all it means is that fewer women are going to get hired.

Is there ANY crude, BS, shamefully disingenuous LIE to which these morons will NOT descend?

"Well, Robert Downey Jr made over $50million for Iron Man 3, and she didn’t get anywhere near as much."

And if Ms. Paltrow did, "anywhere near as much" as Robert Downey Jr. to make the IM3 film as good as it is, then you would possibly have a point; however,...

Notice the website on the poster? unsavoryagents.com. I looked. Depending on your point of view, some pretty good stuff.

What is meant by equal pay? Who doesn’t get equal pay? Everywhere I worked had equal pay. If you are a piece worker on any assembly line you get equal pay. If you work for the Gov’t you get equal pay. The job pays $8 an hour or it it pays $25 an hour you get equal pay based on performance and production. As a school teacher I earned the same amount as a female teacher when I was hired. Equal Pay?? It has to be a hyped myth. When I hear of it, I only think of Ivan who produced 10 pairs of shoes a week demanding the same amount of pay as Vlad who produced 30 pair a week. (Sounds Union inspired)

No she does not. When women can preform the same physical requirements as a Fireman, LEO, or Military with out special treatment, then they deserve the equal pay. IF you can’t stay out of those professions.

Thus speaks a stupid rich hollywierd actress with no moral values.

She has nannies, house keeper, cook, etc.

I worked 40 hrs a week in a crappy factory, and was a divorced single mom with 2 boys, for a decade who did it all. Our clothes came out of rummage sales, not out of Sax 5th Avenue like hers does. Or some fancy designer.
