Pelosi: ‘Working Women and Their Families Deserve Equal Pay for Equal Work’

Speaker. House.Gov ^

[sageb1]

Rhetorical question, I assume, but

Because a man won’t get pregnant?

[CastleMan95]

"If women are paid less for equal work, why would any employer hire a man?"

Your quote sums it up very nicely. All that needs to be said about this issue in my mind.

[SuziQ]

Much as the feminists hate to admit it, womens' pay usually reflects the choices women make in their lives. If a woman and man start out at the same salary, but she takes some time off having a baby, immediately, they are unequal, but it's neither the employer's, nor society's fault. he numbers they are using are bogus anyway, because given equal time on the job, education, etc. women and men are already equal in salary, if women don't make more.

Many women tend to choose employment that can be fluid, just in case they want to take some time off to have a baby. These types of jobs will naturally command a lower salary than those men would choose. It is a function of our freedom, which shouldn't be tampered with, just because some chicks decide it's not fair.

[sageb1]

And in the meantime, who’s raising the kids?

[MarineBrat]

God never said life was fair.

[relictele]

Never fear, kids, Pelosi’s on top of things.

Next week’s pap “for immediate release” is: I would rather be dead than red.

[RightWhale]

Pelosi’s blog is deplorably incomplete.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

The solution seems pretty simple. Reduce taxes to the point where families can afford to return to one-income support. Encourage women to get married and STAY married. Discourage welfare generations. Discourage programs that reward single-motherhood. Encourage boys to grow up and make responsible choices so that they can support their families by their income.

Oh wait - those aren't the answers that the Liberals are looking for. Those are common sense answers. Never mind. How silly of me.

WE NEED TO MAKE A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM THAT WILL PAY WOMEN THE DIFFERENCE AND PENALIZE BUSINESSES THAT DARE TO PAY ACCORDING TO MERIT!!!!

There - that's the response she was looking for.

Nancy the Liberal Queen cringes at books like this:

Ever watch “Dirty Jobs”?
There are a whole lot of jobs on that show that few women do.

I’ll take less pay to avoid one of those.

Besides, I am the riches woman on Earth when my hubby and children kiss me goodnight, God Love them!

[DonGrafico]

Imagine this from a woman who proudly wore a burka while amongst her terrorist friends in the M.E.

Stupid #@&#$($)#!

[tcrlaf]

Has anybody bothered to tell Fuhrer Pelosi that if you don’t pay women the same as men, for the same job, that an ATTORNEY comes and takes all of your stuff???

[petitfour]

Hubby was working for a company and making more money than a female coworker with an equivalent title. But he joined the company later than she had, and he negotiated for the pay. Another guy came in a few years later and negotiated for a higher rate than hubby was getting. The female squawked about it, and she got a pay raise AND a promotion despite her mediocre work. Guess who left the company? You bet.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL! - Post of the day.

[ustanker]

I’m ugly and make just as much as the next guy!

[DakotaRed]

Maybe Pelosi could start by hiring high wage female UNION employees in her and her husbands vineyards and restaurants?

Ever notice how these liberals always want us to make the changes, but they keep doing the very same thing they say needs to change?

Just recall the exemption for American Samoa on minimum wage increase, where hubby has huge interests in tuna canneries.

Hypocrites, the lot of them.

[pleikumud]

Excellent! Post of the day!

[genghis]

what dems know about economics can fit in the muffified brain of karl marx.

Beauty is in the eye of the employer.

In the military they get 6, plus a 15 month hold on deploying (9 before, 6 after.) (That’s the AF - other branches may vary.)

[cubreporter]

That is NOT funny... wait...Yes it is. :) I don’t take any offense at that. I think it is funny and cute. :)
