Can I ask a stupid question?
Are women really paid less than men for doing the same job?
It is against the law to pay women less than men for the same job. This goes all the way back to the Equal Pay Act of 1963, that it is unlawful to pay differently for the same work.
My stupid question revolves around the fact that such practice is already against the law, and has been for years. So, if this is really a major problem in today’s world, Obama and Eric Holder already have all the legal tools as their disposal, to fight this alleged disparity.
So where are all of the lawsuits, with women plaintiffs showing us how they are paid less than their male counterparts?
The courts should be full of lawsuits on their very issue, if this is still a problem in our country. And the laws and court rulings would back up any woman who can demonstrate such discrimination. So where are the lawsuits?
Sorry, I asked a series of stupid questions, not just one. But it baffles me for the president to occasionally throw out this statement that men are paid less than women, but at the same time, does not order his Justice Department to use the laws already in place to fight this alleged injustice.
Sorry I miswrote, I meant to say that women are paid less than men, and the president throws this line out there as if it’s common knowledge and something we all agree is happening.
It’s all baloney. The liberal socialists need something new to carry on about now that they have been successful in trashing health care. It’s the usual pattern: create a phony crisis — in this case, that women are being oppressed — then pass legislation to supposedly solve the crisis, but instead ruin everyone and everything, cost the taxpayer huge amounts of money and further erode our freedoms
The true believers eat this all up without actually determining, first, whether there really is a problem, and second, whether the proposed “solution” will do more harm than good.
I worked as a legal secretary for 35 years. I made good money, but I never expected to be paid the salary of an attorney. If i had wanted more money, I would have gone to law school. The low information voter believes there is this infinite supply of money to pay everyone a fabulous salary. They don’t realize that if every employee made the same salary as the corporate CEO, the company would go bankrupt in short order.
I question the same thing. I thought the The Equal Pay Act of 1963 already put laws on the books to address this?
