Don't need none of that equal pay for women.


Posted: Feb 17, 2017

Perhaps single men should be paid less than married men? I cannot believe there are men like this in our state legislatures. I hope Utah wakes up to the 21st Century. * * * * * Letters to the Editor 2/15/17 From the Wasatch Wave Equal Pay For Women Has Consequences Editor: Here's the problem with the Equal Pay bill being considered by the Utah Legislature... Traditionally men have earned more than women in the workplace because they are considered the primary breadwinners for families. They need to make enough to support their families and allow the Mother to remain in the home to raise and nurture the children. If businesses are forced to pay women the same as male earnings, that means they will have to reduce the pay for the men they employ... simple economics. If that happens, then men will have an even more difficult time earning enough to support their families, which will mean more Mothers will be forced to leave the home (where they may prefer to be) to join the workforce to make up the difference. And as even more women thus enter the workforce that creates more competition for jobs (even men's jobs) and puts further downward pressure on the pay for all jobs... meaning more and more Mothers will be forced into the workforce. And that is bad for families and thus for all of society. It's a vicious cycle that only gets worse the more equality of pay is forced upon us. It's a situation of well-meaning intentions, but negative unintended consequences. We should encourage our Legislators to drop the whole notion. Let the marketplace determine what free-market forces should prevail. It is not the role of government to dictate to businesses what they should pay anyway... either as a Minimum Wage or Equal Pay for men and women. James C. Green Wasatch Co.

Even though I picture Paul Ryan and others supporting something like this, this is not true.

Copy of the legislation for equal pay GOP is against - What is not true?

See link. How backward is the GOP in Utah (and elsewhere)? Women need to get the sexist GOP out of their lives and out of the legislatures.

Mr. Romney, Do You Support Equal Pay For Women? "I Recognize ThatOct 18, 2012

This is his entire discussion of the equal pay for equal work issue: "I recognize that if you’re going to have women in the workforce that sometimes they need to be more flexible.

Equal Pay For Equal Jobs.Oct 23, 2012
Everyone is getting their panties in a wad over the subject of this post, yet it's a waste of time. The law has been in place for years. If a woman is not getting equal pay for equal work, it's up to her to report it and has to prove it, which is hard to do, but can be done. It's better to have a group of women like I was a part of back in the '70s. We went to court and we won, got a raise equal to the men, and got back pay for every year we were stiffed by the employer.

Older Women Versus Younger Women And Trump/ClintonOct 10, 2016
Women who "like" Trump are invariably older and don't like Hilary Clinton because they were raised in an era of economic competition with each for men. In the old days, men generally took care of their women, and some women lucked out with good men and some stuck it out with bad ones. Young women can take care of themselves economically so aren't as threatened by other women so they're more apt to go for HIllary. Older women also don't like Clinton because she stuck with her ...
