The only thing "problematic" is the Obama regime.

That will be voted out in November, so fucking relax, asswipe.

I am relaxed. The Reps sealed the deal for Obama yesterday.

Sure...

And Obama's going to get re-elected too.

Asswiping idiot.

what a fool. Obama doesn't even have "equal" pay for the females working for him.

Yeah, that's going to save Romney!

I want to see Romney beat down like a runaway sister-wife worse than anyone here, but, ehhhhh, I doubt it.

I don't think this is a winning issue for the Democrats.

"Equal Pay" is a unicorn that most people can't get their arms around. Everyone thinks that if they are getting more than the other guy... or gal... it's because they truly deserve it. If they aren't, it's because the boss is an asshole or the other guy is a suckup or they aren't recognizing their merit.

Not to mention most companies treat what they pay their employees like the Colonel's Secret Recipe- a trade secret.

I think the problem is that a law like this would be a litigative nightmare for employers. How do you determine "equal pay". Do you pay everyone exactly the same? Regardless of experience, productivity, etc.

A better idea. Complete wage transparency. If you work a job for a company, you are told exactly what everyone else in that company gets paid for doing the same job. Then you can make a determination as to whether you are being treated fairly or not.

It's already a law, the dems just wasted more of our money, again.

of course ... why would the truth be good enough? Do you know what the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is? Signed by Obama in 2009 and is currently law.

A law that isn't effective is just as bad as not having a law.

The fact is, most people don't know if they are being discriminated against because they don't know what their co-workers are being paid.

At most companies, telling your co-workers what you make is a firing offense.

The polarization of the nation remains a concern; Bush split the country, Obama has not brought us together. If Romney picks a MODERATE running mate, it might be best to see him win. The question is, will the extreme right fade away & lose their fury against America?

If it's already the law, why did the Reps vote against it? If you're talking politically, THEY were dumb for that reason and because it will only widen the "gender gap". Who remembers a 1963 law? Many will remember and be reminded constantly of yesterday's vote.

This is the extremist right sentiment that must be sidelined to unite this nation. Filth, obscenities, and HATE are all they express toward anyone or thing they do not agree with.

Konrad has the political IQ of a small soap dish Warrior..............

This story might get some interest for about 24 hours...........until the next news cycle when Romney comes in and drops a bomb............like that Obama spent 90 billion for green jobs and all of 16,000 were created.

I reviewed the proposed law, which is essentially just modifications to the Equal Pay act of 1963.

I don't see anything in here that should be a problem.
