What gets me is pushing new laws by promising something they already have.
He’s pushing “equal pay for women” despite the fact that its been illegal to pay women less for the same job for at least 30 years. When you point that out they claim it happens anyway and shift to pay per year while ignoring the fact that women take more time off from work.
Basically, “equal pay” comes down to paying women more so that the time she takes off doesn’t mean less pay than a male counterpart who doesn’t miss the time.
That's exactly what it means. And anyone who dares to point it out will get one of the following responses:

So right. I was in mgt. at a major defense contractor for 35 years. I managed professional, salaried people. Peoples’ job grades dictated the min-max salaries for each grade.
I seldom observed a male or female doing equal work. I would give higher raises to females over males when they were outperforming the males, or vice versa, based on performance.
Obama is FOS when he talks about “doing the same job”! They are just ASSIGNED to do the same job, but some will out perform others.
