"Constantly repeating the "77 percent" statistic does not make them the same. It simply takes advantage of many people's ignorance -- something that Barack Obama has been very good at doing on many other issues."

"The "war on women" political slogan is in fact a war against common sense. It is a statistical fraud when Barack Obama and other politicians say that women earn only 77 percent of what men earn -- and that this is because of discrimination.
It would certainly be discrimination if women were doing the same work as men, for the same number of hours, with the same amount of training and experience, as well as other things being the same. But study after study, over the past several decades, has shown repeatedly that those things are not the same."
And it's doubly sad when the ignorant people try to convince people of this fraud, that they sincerely believe, and display their ignorance to everyone.
Read Thomas Sowell's analysis. It's interesting and had some information I hadn't seen before. Since Thomas Sowell is a black man I realize liberals don't often read his columns but they should.
