The Trial Lawyers’ Full Employment Act

Article here. Excerpt:

'Hey guys, everyone in the Democratic party loves all women with a love that is pure as the driven snow, and none of them have ever done anything in the name of that deep, enduring love that could possibly have been motivated by lobbyists, corporate dollars, deep-pocketed donors, etc. No way could that ever happen.

At least, no way could that ever happen except in the case of the Violence Against Women Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act, both of which won’t help women much but will make life way better for the wealthy trial lawyers who make it rain for the DNC and its candidates.'

The last time just last summer, yet the current democrats can't seem to drop it. Anyone find it suspicious that there's all this push and effort to close the fake based-on-discrimination pay gap for women and not one mention about closing the pay gap between whites and blacks/hispanics, which is significantly wider? Or how about the increasing pay gap between CEOs and other executives vs the average worker over the last 35 years? I guess they score more political points if they please the powerful feminist lobby (kinda like why they don't mention the increasing average worker/CEO pay gap: the hugely powerful big business lobby), that and they can simply buy more votes from women for (supposed) women's issues than from minorities for minority issues seeing as there are so many more women both in the voting population and the general population.

Btw good for republicans (and I'm not normally a big fan of republicans) for seeing through the debacle. The passing of such legislation would do little else to help women except force more federal funding into employer sensitivity training, affirmative action, and pay incentive programs (all of which were already in place for decades anyway). You can do little else to get more women (short of literally forcing them) into the more hazardous work with its longer hours and hazard pay, or the high-paying careers that require 80 hours of your time a week so a man can look attractive to the opposite sex and be valued as a family member and human being.

Many Democrats on this matter look pathetic, desperate, and obsessive to the point of impaired rationality (yeah I know that's not uncommon with these matters). Just let it go democrats, and just say Bye Bye to the Paycheck Fairness Act. Another nail in the faux feminist coffin.
