NY Daily News: Pandering to women, Obama twists truth on equal pay
Submitted by anthony on Wed, 2008-06-25 17:21
Article here. Excerpt:
"At an event this week in New Mexico, Obama repeated the misleading claim that "women still earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men," and dismissed the notion that factors other than discrimination explain the wage gap as "just totally wrong."
Yet even the organizations that champion the most aggressive government action in the name of equal pay acknowledge that most of the wage gap is a result of men and women's different choices related to work, not employment discrimination. A 2007 report from The American Association of University Women, for instance, found that most of the wage gap could be explained by factors such as employment, education and personal choices. Pay differential wasn't just the result of sexism in the workplace."

Obama sounds tyrannical in a gender feminist kind of way
"Obama repeated the misleading claim that "women still earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men," and dismissed the notion that factors other than discrimination explain the wage gap as "just totally wrong."
Many Americans are fearful of an Obama Presidency and the empire that his Presidency would bring.
Stalinist Feminism is the New Evil Empire
I Wonder
How is it that presidential candidates could be so ignorant? How many women do you see doing really dangerous jobs like alaskan crab fishing, or pipefitting, or other stuff like that? Surely, it's only discrimination that can account for women not making as much. It has nothing to do with fewer women working, and fewer of them in dangerous jobs which pay more. It seems common sense isn't as common as people would think.
