Every woman in the USA needs to ask the question, “Why has Obama done nothing about correcting this obvious unequal pay status between men & women, during the six years he has been POTUS”??? Answer....he did not care, still does not care!!!

Any woman that believes the serial lie teller, Obama, is either high on weed or just simply, insane!!!

Group,

Don’t fall into the trap an accept that women don’t make as much as men. It’s a bunch of B.S. Women who have the same education, back-ground, and experience do make as much as men. Period. The problem, if you want to call it a problem (which I don’t) is that women typically choose different work then men.

For example, most people who work in the oil industry, or on the dock, in the mechanic industry, in the construction industry, or in other heavy equipment industry are men. I said most...not all. Heck, even most truck drivers are men and that’s a pretty good job a women could certainly do (and many women do do it). These blue collar jobs often lead to management and other senior postions that women can’t get bc they don’t even take the first step (for the most part—obviously some women get involved in this stuff).

By the way, there are some industries where women get paid more than men. Modeling is one of them. Women get paid more as nurses (bc more women have risen into senoir positions due to sheer numbers). 70% of veterinarians are women. Female secretaries make more than male secretaries. Do we need a government program for this, too?

I also like to point out that most people who have graduated from college since 2000 are women. It’s almost 50/500 but, the women are leading. Times are changing and it has nothing to do with Obama. Things happen as they happen.

The point is, we are all products of the choices we make in life. It’s not right or wrong. It’s just the way it is....and I haven’t even talked about the choices women make (vs men) when it comes to child rearing. One more final thought, life-long salaries are most directly correlated to a persons initial salary on day 1. I’ve spoken with a couple of HR people who say women are more likely to accept less money than a man of equal ability. A man will hold his nose up at a 40k starting salary where a women would take it. Who knows why that is, but it is.

Simply put: Not everything is ‘the man keeping the people down.’ In fact, it’s never that way. It’s simply a complex society of every day individuals making choices and value judgements that best suit their needs and their life choices. Government couldn’t save us from ourselves even if they wanted to....and trust me, Government does not want to save us. It just wants power.
