Equal pay?
Hillary is attempting to run her campaign with one of her themes being "equal pay for women."
I have tried, but I cannot find an area, other than sports that pays women less than men for the same job. Is that what she is referring to? If she is attempting a claim that women don't get the same jobs, but want the same wages, then I believe she is barking up the wrong tree. She does bark you know. I have read where women only receive about 79 cents on a dollar that men make, but they don't suggest that the women have the same jobs.
Does a female doctor make less than a male doctor?
Does a female lawyer make less than a male lawyer?
Does a female Captain in the military make less than a male?
Maybe a female teacher makes less than a male teacher?
If the female does not have the same job, then I hardly see how she deserves the same pay. A male secretary does not make as much as female executive.
A male nurse does not make as much as a female doctor.
Articles suggest that there is a general difference in income, male versus female. I wonder who's fault that would be.
I believe that Hillary is pandering for the female vote with the only ammo available, wage inequity. Her party would be better off trying to work on minority unemployment figures. Since Obama, the black unemployment has risen, not lowered. She needs to concentrate on getting families off of food stamps. Since Obama, we have a record high of those on food stamps.
Bernie is pandering to the young by promising them something he can't give them, FREE college. And it seems to be working for him. If the deck wasn't so stacked against him by the DNC, then he would be more competition for Hillary. But, even though she is just barely beating him with the popular vote, she has bought enough Super Delegates to carry her to the nomination. It's a done deal. Bernie is just to make her look like she worked for it. Window dressing.
