This is similar to when the Democrats claimed the banks and grocery stores were racist because they didn’t locate in predominately black neighborhoods. The truth, of course, was that they would locate only in safe and profitable sites.

do they ever factor in multiple years not working at a workplace due to kids, affecting salary levels?

Someone tell me how Obama explains the fact that women in the exact same job don’t make the same pay? There are 6 women in my company who share the same job title. All of us receive different pay based on performance, seniority, and where we live.

There was an article posted recently that explained the fallacy. The stats used by the feminazis are based upon over all averages and fail to take into account that many women gravitate toward lower paying careers, such as nursing, child care, retail sales.

higher paying professions such as engineering have more men in them, thus skewing the numbers.

As mentioned in related threads, please consider the following. Regarding equal wages, in addition to not acknowledging the gender wage gap myth, Democrats also probably won't address the following major problem concerning the regulation of wages by the federal government.

With the exception of the federal entities indicated by the Constitution's Clauses 16 & 17 of Section 8 of Article I as examples, entities under the Congress's exclusive legislative control, the states have never delegated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate wages. Such wages are uniquely under the 10th Amedment-protected control of the states imo.

But the Constitution doesn't stop corrupt politicians from exploiting low information voters by winning their votes by making campaign promises based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers.

The issue has never been what questions Leftists can't answer. They can't answer most questions.

The issue is what questions the American People demand the Leftists to answer.

No. That would be telling the truth and they can’t have that.

My wife, has a degree in accounting, but has chosen to stay home and raise the family. She has a part time job as a teacher’s aid which doesn’t pay much. She could easily be making 5x.

Walter Williams brought up this point when he was filling in for Rush one time.

It’s a good one. If we are willing to do the exact same work for 77% of the pay, then why *isn’t* our unemployment rate extremely low?

When all factors are taken into account, the wages are roughly equal.

Why does Obama pay women on his staff less than the men?

The Democrats could care less about the facts surrounding this argument, or the outcome. The only thing that they care about is getting single women, preferably those with multiple small children to sit back, blame their status in life on men and the Republicans, ask for more free stuff, and vote for the Democrats.

If they could figure out a way to stuff them into a warehouse hooked up to some suspended animation machine and only roll them out on election day, you can bet that they would be doing it.
