Can I ask a stupid question?

It’s already illegal to pay a woman less for the same job as a man.

It’s been against the law to pay women less, going all the way back to the Equal Pay Act of 1963.

Considering that, why do liberals such as Obama and Hillary keep bitching about women being paid less than a man?

Considering that the law is already in place, if women were systematically being paid less, then Obama and Loretta Lynch, and Hillary if she’s the next president, have all the legal tools at their disposal to fight this alleged discrimination.

What has Obama done about this problem in his presidency?

Heck, let’s ask Hillary what she and Bill did about this issue when they were president before, if this is such a major pressing issue in our economy????

“It’s already illegal to pay a woman less for the same job as a man.”

Employees are paid on production and value to the company, so 2 VP’s in the same job title can be paid differing amounts for varying reasons including length of time on the job. They can also be given bonuses for any number of things such as proficiency at achieving targeted goals.Bottom line is the more you earn for the company the more they will pay you.

A company will pay an employee what it would cost to replace him/her at his current level of production.

“The same job” doesn’t always become “The Same results of work done”.

I have watched women twist this crap for years. They want ‘the job’——BUT-—they are not there the same number of hours as most men & most women with no kids. They come in exactly at 8 AM, and are not working before 8:05 at best. They watch the clock like a hawk & are bolting out the door at 5 PM.

Kids need dentists—doctors—and school meetings. Those women take off for those events & the rest of the group has to make sure all the work is done before they all get to go home.

The Equal Women advocates have sold 2 generations of females that “They CAN have it ALL”. They can get a good education—(great)—they can get a good job (also good)-—and then they can have a family, while leaving behind work that needs to be done.

NOW-—They want to be paid full pay for 6 weeks or longer to have that kid. As an employer-—why do I need this person who isn’t working a full week each & e very week of the year???

IT just isn’t a bit fair-—in fact, IMO, it is discrimination against women who have no kids—married or not.

Before I became self-employed, I worked in many an office where those of us who DID NOT leave early or come in late with kids issues had to do a heavier workload to keep everything up to date. I worked for years in the grocery industry-—stores open 7 days a week & paperwork for each store had to be kept up daily. Mondays were especially heavy. Those who were always absent part of the week or month were not liked much by those who always had to do the extra work to cover for them.

That was long before the PAID time off to have that kid——Today I would be more than angry. This kind of favoritism was actually a factor in my decision in going self employed with my bookkeeping skills. I get to set my own hours-—choose my own clients-—and I don’t have to deal with ‘kids issues’ & women who are absent.
