"Any business that could hire someone equally capable and as valuable for the business for less money would be insane not to." That is exactly why there is a gender gap. And the link works just fine.

The link there is not the original one to Census data, which cant be accessed because dataferret is down.

And your first two sentences are a claim that women are not equally capable and valuable to business? With equal experience, in fact, the census bureau information shows that you could argue there is a "reverse gender gap". Women with the same level of education and experience, in the workforce for the same amount of time, earn MORE than their male counterparts.

If you break the data down to apples to apples comparisons there is no gender gap.

The 2nd sentance of your post makes no sense at all. Read your own words, which I quoted, again and you should see my meaning.

"Any business that could hire someone equally capable and as valuable for the business for less money would be insane not to.

What i meant when I quoted it was; If a woman is equally capable and as valuable but could be paid less than her male counterpart, of course a business would be insane not to pay her less.

I honestly don't know the reasons behind the pay gap it seems impossible to me. Yet I keep seeing reports and data that says it exists.

Eight years of desperate  propaganda, half truths and lies demonizing George W. Bush, thats how. In-your-face Michael Moore films that were full of lies. Union goons and paid protesters and crooked scientists and biased reporters preaching hysteria.

If it was not the change most of the country wanted then how did he get elected?

The things he is doing that seem to be such a shock for many people were part of his campaign platform.

Yes, I know Sanity, and allow me to give my personal apologies for all the horrible abuse Republicans and conservatives suffered while Bush was in office.

Say, do you remember that Bill Clinton guy?  I think someone tried to impeach him because he got his dick sucked.

I don't remember who it was that tried that though?

Do you?

There are multiple reasons, and multiple studies investigating them.

Women take time out from the work force to raise children, for example. This takes years out of their eventual earning capacity (assuming more time in a career means higher positions and earnings).

Many women work part time, leaving the major bread-winning to their husbands.

A recent study suggests women are less likely to negotiate hard or push for a raise.

Add enough of these types of occurrences together, and yes, on average, women will earn less than men.

Popeye might I ask for your opinion concerning the appropriateness of asking a married man about a blowjob.Do you really believe the question should have been asked in the first place?

You really believe that all that it was too, don't you? In your mind (despite all the evidence to the contrary) there was never a sexual harassment lawsuit, there were no accusations of rape, there wasn't a grand jury, and Bill Clinton didn't perjur himself  while testifying under oath.

You are truly only capable of seeing and hearing that which is convenient for your political mindset, aren't you.

Rule, I don't know how you missed it but Clinton *was* Impeached by the House (not) for getting a BJ but for *lying about it under oath.*
You CAN get a BJ but you *CAN'T* lie about it under oath!
If he (hadn't) lied about it his presidency would'nt have ended in disgrace.
You should read the book, "The Sociopath Nextdoor."

Then they backed him into a corner by putting him under oath about something that should have been a personal issue.
