White House’s phony wage gap figures spur a backlash

 

"It turns out President Obama isn’t the only hypocritical Democrat, in fact Senate Democrats have their own problems when it comes to equal pay. We pulled the official payroll records of various offices and calculated the average pay for men and women in each office for the most recent 6 month period available. Since some employees only worked a portion of the six month period, we calculated how much each person was paid per day in order to give an accurate representation. Here’s what we found:

• Mark Udall pays women 85 cents for every dollar that a man makes.

• Mary Landrieu pays women 88 cents for every dollar that a man makes.

• Mark Begich pays women 82 cents for every dollar that a man makes.

• Mark Warner pays women 75 cents for every dollar that a man makes.

• Gary Peters pays women 67 cents for every dollar that a man makes.

That means on average, these five Democrats on the ballot in battleground states pay women in their office 79 cents for every dollar made by a male employee."
