Why does my family deserve equal pay for the work I do? They’re not doing it.

Because, as Pelosi probably knows, a 40 hr week by a teacher is not the same as a 40hr week by an engineer. I would bet that if comparisons were done on benefits women would beat men, simply because government jobs have lower wages and better benefits.

Pelosi probably thinks a hotel maid should make as much as a nuclear physicist. What a dimwit.

“She said her male nurses were far more ambitions, on average, than her female ones. “

While in the hospital for surgery I noticed the female nurses had to ask for help to transferthe heavier patients and when none were available, had to settle for three or more female nurses to do the job that just one male nurse could do.

An important factor when considering the increasing fact that Americans are getting grossly obese.

“Strengthening the Middle Class” Oh novel idea. Now just how did they come up with that one? Could it be to combat the idea that they are destroying America by doing away with the middle class?

Don’t you just find yourself amazed at how these people can lie without a conscious?

Define “working woman.”
Define “equal pay.”
Define “equal work.”

A recuring issue that simply will never be resolved.
