Liberal logic on equality of pay

Today's non-news is that Obama seeks to play Robin Hood with estate taxes.  If your parents build a business over the course of their lives, Obama wants to share the profits with everyone, mainly government, when they die.  The goal is, of course, to make sure that the only rich entity in society is government.  That way nobody can fund challenges to bureaucrat hegemony.  Plus, the foolish poor think that by taking down the rich that they will somehow see some of that money. Of course, they will not.  All of Obama's promises are just good sounding lies, exactly what anyone should expect from a con man.

The reason these redistributions sound so appealing is that we have a fraudulent money supply.  This favors the already rich to the detriment of the middle and lower classes.  While laboring under this scam ridden money supply, the poor do not receive fair compensation for their labor while the rich are wildly overcompensated.  The very rich get very rich by using huge amounts of leverage and then gaming the resulting pump and dump economy based on insider information.  They know in advance what is going to happen so they can get positioned for it.  To everyone else it just looks like good fortune but you really have to be brain dead to believe this.

But none of this is news, all of it is obvious and ongoing.  So the real reason for this post is to mock Obama's chosen example for equality of pay between men and women.   The article states, "Obama also was asked about the income gap between women and men and responded that it's a personal issue for him since he was raised by a single mother and his grandmother was the family's primary breadwinner.  "Michelle would point out first ladies get paid nothing. So there's clearly not equal pay in the White House when it comes to her and me," Obama said."

Well, there you have it.  Liberal logic on equal pay.  It is somehow unfair that Michelle Obama, a useless, unelected nothing of a person, doesn't get the same pay as the duly elected president.  Not that I think Obama is worth two cents either but I don't debate the fact that he won the (S)elections (even if they are fixed).  Michele Obama produces nothing but is somehow getting stiffed on pay.  I wonder how many people actually agree with this "logic".


Personally, I know as a hiring manager in high tech that there is NO inequality in pay and has not been any for well over a decade.  A female Sr. Software Developer always got paid same as a guy with same experience.  At least this was the case in IBM and AMD where I worked and managed people for a couple decades.  But I am open to the possibility that there could be wage discrimination in other fields, I just don't have any data on it.
