This is both of them, the system, at it's worst.

This is just awful. Obama is gonna, gonna, gonna and Mitt is running around avoiding specifics and declaring he's giving them.

These people have got to be on the verge of just walking out if they're gonna be ignored this badly.

Awful.

I am being serious here... this is a QUESTION...

Do we really have a pay inequality issue?

A man and a woman each doing a job, same degree, same years of experience and the woman makes less? Does this happen to ANYONE here, or do you know of anyone who it's happening to? Maybe I'm insulated having been a Government contractor and now a civilian... we make the same money.

Or is this because there are fewer women with the kinds of degrees and experiences that command the high salaries..and this is an average? The AVERAGE salary of all working women is XX percent less than the average salary of all working men.

Apparently it is an issue. I saw a question about this in the Washington Post Magazine this weekend.

I was kind of wondering that same thing. I don't have a "career" type of job, so I wouldn't know. But I know our HR department has criteria to meet for hiring, and I do know that males make the same as females for the hourly wage jobs.

Oh f**k, the "failed policies" question?
Difference between Bush and Romney? SERIOUSLY?

I think there probably is some disparity, but I don't think it's as bad as women's rights advocates say it is for the same reasons you mentioned.

Here's Mitt's chance to explain why Too Big To Fail failed the nation and, and, and "I'm different than George Bush!"
