McCain’s ads about the supposed wage gap in the Obama campaign are all over the place now.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that this is true, instead of the gross misrepresentation it actually is.
Why then does McCain oppose doing anything about it? If he’s so concerned about wage gaps and equal pay, why not, I don’t know, try to stop it? Why didn’t he vote for the Fair Pay Act instead of against it?
But instead McCain has no intention of stopping it. He thinks that a woman who is discriminated against should (somehow) find out about it immediately, and bring suit immediately. Otherwise, tough. The burden is all on the woman to find out private information about other people’s salaries (which she is forbidden to try to do, by other laws); the burden is all on the woman to find the money to bring suit; the burden is all on the woman to get the law moving quickly – because one person can totally get Dredlock & Dredlock in motion.
Why put all this burden on the woman? Well, because punishing businesses for their own mistakes – mistakes? Their own deliberate wrongdoing – is a hurty boo-boo.
This damnable hypocrite actually has the temerity to mouth platitudes about how, in his maverickiness, he wants more regulation and “I can assure you” that wrongdoing will not go unpunished. What a lying coward.
