Yesterday was National Pay Equity Day. Evergreen Headline: Democrat politician a hypocrite (even as she runs to be first female Prez)

HS Hillary it takes a socialistYep, that would be Hildabeast as she runs to be Prez simply because of her lady parts (ok, a majority part of her “appeal” is based on that – and appeal is in the eye of the beholder, I guess).  Anywho, she’s been carboning up the US air as she criss-crosses the nation in her private plane preaching the utter ignominy of the so-called “female pay gap” of 77% of women to men.  We’ve talked about this before and when controlling for all variables, the gap can oft be explained by choices that men make for jobs vs those for women, the hours worked, the dangerousness of the job and the phrase “don’t become a teacher, become a chemical engineer”.

I digress.  So, what is Hillary doing to back up her campaign rhetoric?  Um, making herself into what my days as being a Sunday School teacher would call “an object lesson”:

Report: Clinton Foundation Male Executives Are Paid Much More Than Their Female Counterparts

Male executives who work at the Clinton Foundation reportedly make 38 percent more than their female counterparts, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation, which analyzed the foundation’s 2013 IRS filings.

On average, male executives made $109,000 more than the women, the report found. In addition, there are nearly three times more male executives than female executives employed by the foundation.  The filings show that the foundation’s highest-paid male executive, Frederick Post, the organization’s director of “sponsor and marketing,” made $484,000 in 2013. By comparison, the foundation’s highest paid female executive is CEO Virginia Ehrlich, and she made only $201,000 in compensation during the same time period.

In addition, of the foundation’s 11 executives, eight are men. And the filings reveal that all eight of the male executives make more than $200,000 per year. Ehrlich, however, is the only female executive to eclipse the $200,000 mark.  The findings stand in contrast to much of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s political rhetoric. According to her campaign website, Clinton pledges to “ensure equal pay for women.”

Ya gotta love that “pay equity” in which a director is making twice what the CEO is making – and Hillary just sloughs this off and ignores her own hypocrisy?  Just yet another example of her belief that her rhetoric applies to YOU and not to such a Progressive as herself.

No shame at all, not even the tiniest sliver of remorse.

UPDATE: Forgot I had bookmarked this:

First, it’s important to remember that wage discrimination was made illegal with both the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Any employer found to be violating these laws should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Discrimination of any kind is fundamentally unfair to all people.

When all factors are considered, economist June O’Neill discovered that the actual wage gap is about 3.3 percent. Further, she found that when comparing “single childless women to single childless men, ages 34-43, the wage not only disappears, but instead becomes a wage premium” (meaning, women earned more than their male peers).

So, how do women overcome the pay gap that we’re routinely told keeps female professionals from achievement?

First, it begins with encouraging women to pursue professions that traditionally have been reserved for men. Some of the fastest growing and highest paying careers are in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields. Nonprofits across America, such as Code4Life in Washington, D.C., have emphasized education in these subjects, especially for girls who’ve grow up in disadvantaged circumstances.

Speaking of education, men are much more likely to earn degrees that are applicable to fields that pay more. For example, women currently make up just 18.4 percent of engineering degree recipients nationwide. More men than women graduated from medical school in 2015. Actuarial science, which requires rigorous study, is a field where male professionals outnumber their female colleagues two-to-one.

Next, it means accepting that some of the highest-paying professions don’t interest all women. Many women find greater satisfaction in other careers, such as nursing (92 percent are women), teachers (82 percent are women) and social work (69 percent are women). As our quality of life has improved, many people have chosen to prioritize personal fulfillment over earning the big bucks. True feminism means supporting women as they pursue their dreams.

Further, women often choose careers that allow them greater flexibility to strike a healthy work-life balance. In fact, the Pew Research Center reports that 70 percent of working mothers indicated a flexible schedule was important to them, compared to just 46 percent of fathers. Sometimes, this means accepting lower paying jobs in exchange for more time with loved ones or to pursue other passions.

Finally, there are simply some intangibles in business. Most business experts agree that women are far less aggressive in their contractual and compensation negotiations than their male colleagues, often leaving money on the table that they otherwise could have secured for themselves. For some women, this might never change. But, as more women enter and stay in the workforce with even more impressive qualifications than their male counterparts (women are now earning more doctoral degrees than men), that could soon change.

And of course, we’re back to Progressive hypocrisy of “Do what I tell you to do, not as I do”:

For all of the avoidance of the truth about income inequality, progressives’ most vocal advocates are often the guiltiest of the very crimes they pin on others. In the Obama administration, women make only 87 percent of what men earn. The Clinton Foundation, headed by presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, pays male executives 38 percent more than women. And even proud socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who lambasts income inequality routinely on the campaign trail, pays his female staff on average $21,730 less than his male employees, making him among the worst offenders in the U.S. Senate.

And you’re surprised at this?
