Our legislators should pass a bill for political reasons? Isn't that the cancer in Washington that needs to be eradicated?
The Democrats have the Republicans in a trick bag.
Pass it and the conservative true believers go nuts and sit out the next election. Or nominate someone with no chance of winning in the general election. Or even better for the Democrats, a 3rd party candidate runs and really ****s up the vote.
Defeat it and the Democrats have a ready made issue combining racism, sexism and a war on women.
Politics is a game of strategy. The goal is to win elections.
The problem lies with the fact the Republicans allowed themselves to be put into this situation.
This type of strategizing goes on at all levels, not just federal.
Absolutely not. Years ago I ran a shop with 2 part time employees - a high school student and older woman with a Masters. The woman got upset when she found out she was making the same wage as the kid - but if anything the kid was a better worker. She left and the kid got a raise.
That's your choice. But if equal work for equal pay means you have to pay someone with a masters the same as someone with a bachelors for equal work, then count me out of equal work for equal pay.
I totally agree with you but our country is in shambles due to these idiots in office and we have let things go too far. The destruction needs to stop , and this country needs to be restored once again to a real AMERICA. The media needs to expose these fools for what they are and hang them high.
Problem with the media is they are all rah-rah for idiot liberal programs no matter what the economic consequences. You can't stop stupid from the left with the media backing them up.
Man: Does a great job, shows up on time, gets a 4% raise.
Woman A: Does an ok job, many times she is late, gets a 2% raise.
Woman B: Does a good job, always on time, gets a 4% raise
Already the woman A makes less than man. There is a law suit waiting to happen. Legislation like this can not be done.

But his example involved paying a woman with a master's less than a kid with an 8th grade education! I have a really hard time believing the kid was a better worker at the same job.

So.....if McDonalds hires a down and out college grad to do the same work a person with only a high school diploma does.....they should pay them more?
No. NO NO NO!
What about so called "professional students"?
Great at navigating the educational system, but not so great at applying what they have learned to an actual job situation.
A person should be paid by the job that they do, not by what level of education they have attained.
