Mikulski’s ‘Paycheck Fairness Act’ Would Allow Employees to Discuss Salaries

 

 

 

  Beware of anything coming out of Washington that contains the word ” Fairness ” … It will surely be anything but .

 

 

” A ‘Paycheck Fairness Act’ introduced in Congress last week would require employers to show pay disparity is related to job-performance and prohibit employer retaliation for sharing salary information with coworkers.

Senator Barbara A. Mikulski and Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, both Democrats, said their legislation is aimed at closing the pay gap between men and women and would also address loopholes in the 1963 Equal Pay Act.”

 

   Since when does the government have the right to entwine themselves into the compensation negotiations between employers and their employees ? Sounds like something cooked up by Oren Boyle and Wesley Mouch .

 

  It’s just another way for unions to get their foot in the door and for trial lawyers to fill their coffers.

NY Sun on Paul Ryan’s worthiness to be an Ayn Rand disciple .

  ” Let us savor the irony of the New York Times complaining that Paul Ryan is an unworthy disciple of Ayn Rand. The irony was on display yesterday on the paper’s op-ed page, which ran out a column headlined “Atlas Spurned.” It’s by a history professor, Jennifer Burns, who reckons that Mr. Ryan has betrayed the ideas of the author of “Atlas Shrugged” by believing in God and a strong defense in the war against terror. “As a woman in a man’s world, a Jewish atheist in a country dominated by Christianity and a refugee from a totalitarian state, Rand knew it was not enough to promote individual freedom in the economic realm alone,” writes Professor Burns. “If Mr. Ryan becomes the next vice president, it wouldn’t be her dream come true, but her nightmare.”

This is almost touching. It’s probably the first time the Gray Lady has put the creator of John Galt up as a model to be emulated. When “Atlas Shrugged” was published in 1957, the Times ran out a review by Granville Hicks that complained the novel “howls in the reader’s ear” and asserted: “Loudly as Miss Rand proclaims her love of life, it seems clear that the book is written out of hate. … Perhaps most of us have moments when we feel that it might be a good idea if the whole human race, except for us and the few nice people we know, were wiped out; but one wonders about a person who sustains such a mood through the writing of 1,168 pages and some fourteen years of work.”*”

Here’s one of them

7.) He’s a big fan of Objectivist philosopher Ayn Rand — even saying that he has made Rand’s magnum opus “Atlas Shrugged” required reading for his staff and interns. Recently, however, the Catholic Ryan noted that he didn’t subscribe to Rand’s atheist philosophy, at least not in its totality.

  ” Kayla Harrison had two goals: win a world championship and win an Olympic gold medal.

She accomplished the first in 2010, winning the 78-kilogram (172-pound) weight class to become the first U.S. woman in 46 years capture a judo world championship. If she reaches her second goal, she’ll become the first American — man or woman — to win gold in judo at the Olympics. “ 

    Now this is “war on women” . Please remind me why , according to our Progressive friends , I should show the same deference to the beliefs of this cretin as I should for the creed of the Pope .
