How can women produce equal work? They have periods which obviously means they aren't able to produce the same quality and consistancy of work through out a full monthly cycle.

you mean we would have to do equal work?? Can't we just smile at the nerds and get them to do our work?

I'm against equal pay for equal work. That's a socialist concept. I'm for equal pay for equal merit.

The usual half truths and spin from Obama.

Good for him. Employee wages are a matter for the employee and the employer - not the government.

Maybe he's trying to cut the deficit by keeping the VPs salary low.

Is this the same study that said ladies made less than men. Afterwards some came along and looked at the data and saw that they looked at just the paychecks and noted the difference, then broke it down and saw that it was usually the men that did the overtime and extras needed to have the larger paycheck.

When the same people dug further and asked the ladies why they refused the overtime they answered that they preferred to not work more so that left the men having to do it.

So I am wondering. Should ladies make what others do that work more if they refuse to share the burden?

the government is not saying what people should be paid, only that people should be paid equally for the same work. Of course if two people are not doing equal work (one person doing more hours than the other) it's obvious that this would not be covered.

Oh, so now work is a burden????

What are you, some kinda socialist ?!?

I am a workaholic and love to work. I also love the bigger paychecks I receive.

And yet, you called work a burden.

So which is it?

You sound like a commie to me.

But it's so simple, even the conservatives can figure it out. If you're salaried, you get the same pay as someone doing the same job as you (and otherwise equivilent to you, same level of experience etc). If you're paid wages then you get the same hourly wage. Does this really have to be explained. I feel like it's obvious.
