It is against the law not to pay men and women the same wage if all things are equal and any business would want to make all of their employees the lower-paid version if that was a reality.
You know that pay-gap stuff is nonsense right?
“Of course it is. The WNBA is different than the NBA, the LPGA is different than the PGA. Women have teed it up & have played in PGA golf tournaments with men, but didn’t win, so they didn’t earn as much money. In facts, not one female made the 36 hole cut.\
More females choose to be public defenders than males, who tend towards more lucrative law practices such as corporate law or ambulance chasing. Males work many more hours than females when they own their own businesses and when they work for others as plumbers and such.
It’s fake news and fake statistics—-ie, total income of females versus total income earned by males, then divide by the number of heads, for a “per capita” number. And then there are feminists who insist that office typists, order takers etc should get paid the same as heavy equipment/machinery operators. Males tend to do more dirty and dangerous jobs because they pay more, eg roofers and window washers, etc. Women often do not apply for those jobs, opting for teacher aids and day care workers…..or to be octomooms, be unwed mother welfare queens, who produce nothing but babies but still manage to get paid for it…..but their income from welfare, tax free child support isn’t even counted!
The same happened with the fake story about the “shrinking middle class” based on a faulty if not fraudulent survey by two French commies who claimed that Reaganomics led to a huge disappearance of the middle class——not even considering immigration effects of importing poverty or allowing illegitimacy to explode . …or the fact that females were going to college and becoming professionals or business owners. The survey was about “Household income” and had glaring omissions,……but liberals and their fake news still pretend the study was not debunked. It counted only “wage, salary and tip” income from individual tax returns, even though the success of supply side economics was entrepreneurs and new businesses, who file business tax returns and do not fie individual tax returns…..and it did not count Social Security and Medicare income……so people who retires were listed as moving from middle class to poverty——and females were outliving their husbands and living into their 90s, so they were counted as being mired in abject poverty for many years, a household could be one unwed mother with no income and another “household” can be a household of a husband and wife lawyers or doctors…..the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer! So states started aggressively raising their minimum wage, but “small business” doesn’t have to pay minimum wage, so Mom and Pop rich Mexicans can get their minority loan or grant to start a new business and hire illegal immigrants at less than minimum wage and not have to pay Obamacare, either …especially if they work only part time.
Trump was right when he called fake news the enemy of the people . The lies they spread cause dangerous things to happen., especially when politicians believe them. Joe Biden believes all the lies spread by the media trying to get him elected. Often times the press knows it’s a lie, but the politician doesn’t.
And remember Ellen Goodman spreading all those ridiculous feminist claims? She dismissed Bill Clinton’s sexual assault on a State of Arkansas employee during her work day as “making a pass”.
And she reported as fact a study made about how a housewife/homemaker’s labor was worth about $135,0000 —-now, about $250K with inflation…..so being a housewife was being a slave laborer, completely exploited by a man. First of all, it only proves that liberals know nothing about free market fact that NOTHING is worth more than anybody can or will pay her. But the implication was clear——and completely elitist: if your husband doesn’t make at least $200,000 per year, then he is not pulling his own weight. This was meant to make homemakers feel exploited and hate their husbands for taking advantage of them. And it was pure fraud—-claiming that housewives should get paid for sex, cooking, cleaning, attending to children’s boo boos, etc….as if the hubby didn’t pay for the pots, pans and electricity ,….property tax, schools, police and fire protection……free room and board, vacations and sick days, pay for all her children’s clothes, food, dentist and doctor bills, etc,…..or as if she woudn’t have to cook and clean if she were single or a single mother. It is the taxpayer who is exploited having to support unwed mothers and immigrant babies getting those generous GOP child tax credits. And Obama’s refundable tax credits for people who get tax refunds even though they didn’t pay any taxes.”———a friend wrote this response on this subject
Actually, I started working when I was 18. I’m going to be 80 this year. Employers got away with pretty much whatever they wanted then. Things are much different now.
