The whiner-in-chief is once again promoting divisive rules and administrative punishments on businesses who, he claims, are compensating women unfairly for their work. The president, who has never run a business or made a payroll in his life, apparently has discovered that there are countless evil employers intent on holding women down and handing out extra cash to male workers simply because they are male. For the smartest man in America, Obama is simply not attuned to human nature or logic.
The claim, long discredited, says that women make only 79 cents for each dollar that a man makes, and ascribes the difference to discrimination. Of course Obama seems to see discrimination everywhere he looks, so this is not a surprise. But honest research shows that the differences are easily explained by a number of aspects that exist between male and female employment.
Males tend to accept and work more dangerous jobs such as mine workers and oil field workers, jobs which pay more than less dangerous jobs.
Men devote more hours to work, while many women take on the burden of child rearing, which prevents the 80 hour weeks some men are willing to accept.
Men build tenure over years, while women sometimes take time out to rear families before returning to the work place.
Jobs requiring travel, which can be well compensated, are not attractive to many women because of the time away from home that is required.
Women often make career choices in fields that are not as well compensated such as teachers aid or retail clerk.
More on equal pay rules, page 2:
What the hell is wrong with raises and benefits for people that excell at their jobs. This only spurs them on to do better. With Obama it is that everyone absolutely equal in every way. It is nobody’s business and not even his
I agree !!!
He thinks he is our king.
Socialism….when government controls production,distribution, and exchange……yep …think about it !!!
You believe this??? He wants to see what jobs he can give to the immigrants…..
Arrest Obama now.
I’m all in favor of equal pay if that’s the case ; some women ( many ) were pushed into jobs and positions by government mandates that shoved women through the job sector ; affirmative action gave millions of women preference over men in company’s !!! So not always on merit nor always work ethic or time on job sometimes just because of gender or color ; having said that if time on job and quality of performance are the same then same pay is in order !!!
He just can’t keep his nose out of anything.
This dumb SOB will be gone 20 Jan 2017! He has laid claim ti the distinction of being the worst President to ever occupy the Oval Office!!!!!!
He is not a president he is a dictator in chief he is so stupid i am embarrassed for him.
