I just want to say something about this mantra liberals are pushing, about equal pay for women.

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits paying women less than a a man for doing the same job.

The Democrats are not being intellectually honest in discussing this issue. What they are talking about is already against the law.

Which means that Obama and Eric Holder already have all the legal tools to enforce that law, and file lawsuits, etc. as needed.

It’s dishonest for them to campaign and say, vote Democrat, and Democrats will provide equal pay for women. The law is already on the books.

The question should be along the lines of, what has Obama done in almost six years as president, to deal with this alleged problem?

Does that also apply to movie actors and actresses Ms. Paltrow??

We are now in the enlightened age of income equality. It doesn’t matter what the law says about equal pay for equal work The average women deserves the same pay as in average man regardless of type of work.

In fact, I deserve the same pay as the ceo of Google and Disney.
