The Ledbetter law removes the normal time limit afterwhich an action can be brought. In most cases if you don't bring a case in one year you're guilty of 'laches' and estopped from proceeding. This is meant to be fair to both sides as, if you wait years and years, wtnesses move, die, their memories become faulty and so on. The Ledbetter law undoes centuries of legal doctrine.
There is a 2 year limit for a lawsuit claiming discriminatory and unequal pay, 3 year limit in the case of "willful discrimination" from the instance of the most recent discriminatory paycheck or hiring practice. It's not an unlimited number of "years and years".
So if a black person is paid less for doing the same job as a white person----that's OK with you . ? It's up to the black person to go hunt for a new job?
Any person, regardless of skin color, gender, religion, ect... should ask for what they believe they are worth and if they don't get it - should seek it elsewhere.
A good manager is going to promote the best person. If a manager is a racist or a sexist - and it can actually be proven that they discriminated against someone for that reason - one has to wonder why someone would want to work at that job. Why wouldn't they go where they are paid what they are worth?
Better yet - why don't these people explain just why they are so sure that they are paid less due to their skin color or gender?
Nice try playing the race card - you have just demonstrated what liberals do when they can't win arguments based on merits.

He said a lot of stupid things that were insulting and offensive to women and families IMO. Single parents won't be interested in Romney(though they weren't in the first place) since he kept talking about 2 parent homes--meanwhile the colorado shooter came from a 2 parent home as did a lot of these "mass" killing shooters. He couldn't come up with a rebuttal for his policies which are a conflict to women's reproductive rights, etc. Truthfully his responses to the gun question, Libya question, women's "pay" question, and immigration question as well as his closing--were not good. His stance on the economy, energy(gas prices) were his strongest.
He probably should have left the make dinner part out, but I don't think the type of women who would get offended by that comment would vote republican
That is because Democratic women tend to not cook, and feed their children McDonald's every night - contributing to the massive "obesity" problem that Michelle Obama calls a "national security issue".
Not my mother though - she cooked a great(and healthy) meal almost every night(except for a few times when she ordered pizza) and she was and still is a Democrat.
So much for the liberals claim that I was "brainwashed" to be a Republican.

I love my mother - and I hope that you do too.
Oh please. Democratic women are domestic too. Your mother isn't the only democrat that cooks healthy meals and nurtures her family.
That is what his aid wanted to leave work at 5 pm because she wanted to be home to cook for her kids and spend time with them what is wrong with that. More employers should accommodate their female workers like that

Yep - and most Democrats here would probally agree.
But because Mitt Romney said it and he suported the women who worked with his office - the democrats have to try to construe his words as "wrong".
It is all politics.
It's also pathetic.
But what else do you expect from the liberals?
Apparently - they are anti-women.
