Thank you Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden for tirelessly working quietly but effectively to eliminate this discrimination in work places. This is the reason I voted for Obama and he is fulfilling my expectations against all odds and incredible Republican opposition. Kudos to President and the Democrats...

@Red0660 Essentially the legislation will put downward pressure on wages but the clever part is that it will use the workers own inherent modus operandi to do it. They will essentially divide and conquer themselves with expensive lawsuits and litigation. You may ask why Obama is doing this in such a dire economy. The reason is because it is ACTUALLY GOOD FOR BUSINESS and the workers, especially women have no idea what they are being manipulated and used.

SAY YES TO AN EQUAL WAGE FOR ONE & ALL, A FEASIBLE PATH IN THE DIRECTION TO ABOLISHING MONEY AND ALL ITS EVIL. END THE RULE OF WEALTH,LET WISDOM RETURN US TO PROGRESS, ELIMINATE, INEQUALITY, & MISERY, I BELIEVE IN EQUALITY TO THE GREATEST DEGREE POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE, NO CLASS MIDDLE ,WORKING, OR SUPER RICH

@AmericanPowerBase they're all jerks if you ask me - republicans and democrats (politicians that is). No real change is going to happen until we get rid of both of those parties. I tend to vote for the lesser evil that I can deal with.

@BWChater why is your mom out the kitchen troll ?

@amberview30 thanks for the clarification. This was helpful.

[amberview30]

@Leoncio9999 It hasn't been passed. Majority of Republicans have voted no on it. A woman can only sue 180 days from the date of the first instance of discrimination. The new bill would allow for going back from 180 days from the last pay check where discrimination occurred.

@Red0660

Add to that all the illegals, driving down the wages for most working people....

@Red0660

100% agree....!!! BUT, women are waking up to the fact that working sucks, and MAYBE there is more fulfillment in raising kids and keeping a nice house.... The home, just may not be the prison feminists like to say it is....

PS, FUCK FEMINISTS/FEMINISM!!!! It's like me starting a group for racial equality , and calling us "whitest's"..... Get me?? Feminism is NOT about equality, it is about FEMASUPREMECY! As is shown in "family courts", and DV law..
