Republican strategist Alex Castellanos denied Sunday morning the actual fact that women in America make less than men from work. In a roundtable discussion on NBC’s Meet The Press, Castellanos displayed signs of disagreement when MSNBC host Rachel Maddow mentioned the statistic that women make 77 cents for every dollar as their male counterparts. Noticing Castellanos’ discomfort, Maddow pressed the strategist on his viewpoint. “Women don’t make less than men?” she asked. “Actually if you start looking at the numbers Rachel, um, there’s lots of reasons for that,” Castellanos replied. “Wait wait, no, don’t tell me the reasons why, do women make less than men?” Maddow pressed. “Um, no,” Castellanos said, before later dismissing Maddow’s current emotions. “I wish you were as right about what you’re saying as you are passionate about it,” he said. “I really do.” WATCH: Video from NBC, which was broadcast on April 29, 2012.

The author of this article, Mr. Jones, is uninformed of the FACTS. I won't bother posting the proof that this article- and you- are full of shit, as it's been done countless times. It's enough to say that you've no cred, bubba.

As usual, the left has their collective heads firmly planted in the 1960s... Time Magazine: Workplac e Salaries: At Last, Women on Top in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in the U.S., the median full-time salaries of young women are 8% higher than those of the guys in their peer group. In two cities, Atlanta and Memphis, those women are making about 20% more. This squares with earlier research from Queens College, New York, that had suggested that this was happening in major metropolises. But the new study suggests that the gap is bigger than previously thought, with young women in New York City, Los Angeles and San Diego making 17%, 12% and 15% more than their male peers, respectively. And it also holds true even in reasonably small areas like the Raleigh-Durham region and Charlotte in North Carolina (both 14% more), and Jacksonville, Fla. (6%)... He attributes the earnings reversal overwhelmingly to one factor: education. For every two guys who graduate from college or get a higher degree, three women do. This is almost the exact opposite of the graduation ratio that existed when the baby boomers entered college.
He attributes the earnings reversal overwhelmingly to one factor: education. For every two guys who graduate from college or get a higher degree, three women do. This is almost the exact opposite of the graduation ratio that existed when the baby boomers entered college. Why did you leave out this part? The fact that the average American working woman earns only about 8o% of what the average American working man earns has been something of a festering sore for at least half the population for several decades. And despite many programs and analyses and hand-wringing and badges and even some legislation, the figure hasn't budged much in the past five years. But now there's evidence that the ship may finally be turning around: according to a new analysis of 2,000 communities by a market research company, in --clip Here's the slightly deflating caveat: this reverse gender gap, as it's known, applies only to unmarried, childless women under 30 who live in cities. The rest of working women — even those of the same age, but who are married or don't live in a major metropolitan area — are still on the less scenic side of the wage divide.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'! Please provide the raw data to back your claims. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just... well, with you being such a propagandist, let's just say your pronouncements have dick for cred.

Here is why, dipshit: 1.) Women under 30 are better educated in comparison to their male counterparts than the one's over 30. The article stated this very clearly. 2.) When a woman has kids, she tends to work fewer hours a week than her male counterparts and therefore tends to earn less. So, blame god (or evolution) for not making us a unisex species. The bottom line is that the salaries of young women have not only caught up with those of men, but they have surpassed men in almost all of the largest cities in the country. The cities where they haven't caught up tend to be those that have a lot of computer science and engineering jobs (which women don't generally study in college). These are called FACTS. But no, dimwitted leftists need yet another government program that will backfire and ultimately make things worse for women. No thanks. Been there, done that.
Why so shrill peggy? I'm using the article YOU referenced. {{{chuckle}}} Think I'm going to stop reading your shit for awhile. See ya.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'! And you are completely misrepresenting what it says. So, either you are stupid, or a propagandist. Either way, welcome to my bozo list.
