A bill taken up by a Senate panel on Thursday would empower the federal government to collect the payroll information of private companies and analyze it in an effort to prevent gender-based pay discrimination, which has been illegal since 1963.
The law would compel the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to begin mandatory collection of payroll data from private employers, under penalty of law. These data must be broken down by job type, race, and, gender. The government would then analyze the data to determine if companies are violating equal pay laws, which prohibit pay discrimination based on gender.
Known as the Paycheck Fairness Act, the law was passed by the House of Representatives more than one year ago – Jan. 9, 2009 – but had languished in the Senate until Thursday, when it was taken up in the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
EEOC Acting Chairman Stuart Ishimaru, who testified before the HELP committee on Thursday, told CNSNews.com that the law would require the EEOC to collect payroll data from private companies. However, he said that it was still “to be determined” if companies would have to report automatically, a decision that would be left up to the EEOC.

More BS to drive business out of business.
These data must be broken down by job type, race, and, gender.
Pay everyone the same . Please do not look into job qualifications, experience, time on the job, work ethics
***Senator Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) the ranking Republican on the HELP committee, said these new requirements would further burden businesses without reducing wage differences between genders, which he attributed to labor market variations, not discrimination.***
In addition, employers will be laying off more white males to meet the requirements of the HELP committee.

Paycheck Fairness Act
Translation: Screw the White guy
This is nothing short of insanity!
We also discrimnate. The people who work harder and contribute more get paid better and get the bigger bonuses.
F the FedGov. I am sick and tired of working 70 hours a week to be taxed to death and take $hit from them. I can live on much less and am seriously considering cutting back to the bone. I am done feeding the Beast.

The national horror story continues to unfold with lightning speed.....and in every nook and cranny of our national entity:
The Grim Ocreeper is wielding his scythe in every corner of American society. Nothing deters him from his scorched earth policy. There's no place for any business or individual to hide from his hideous countenance and deathly determination to destroy and then remake us and ours in his own Marxist image.
The business, professional and corporate leaders in the country have already been split, isolated, demoralized, frightened, mowed down, trod over.......and they do not unite to resist.
Few are aware or educated enough to connect his dots as he continues his rapid death march leaving in his wake a rapidly decaying fruited plain. His blade does not miss any aspect of our historical inheritance or capitalistic infrastructure to stifle, dismember or control.
The Grim Ocreeper ruins as he sees fit
Then moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure him back to cancel half a measure of it
Nor all your Tears wash out bit of it

It doesn’t take much to get me started in the morning. You now have me in overdrive.
You get it. I don’t see how The US can take 34 more months of Marxist rule.
Starve the Beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you can ...
More government control, if allowed it will just keep encroaching on private sector and result in reverse discrimination.
