This Is The Easiest Way To Explain Equal Pay For Women.

I guess it's good to have research studies and books and articles and campaigns that show why it's important for women to get paid the same as men for the same job. It's also crazy that we need so much proof. The argument is as simple as this ad makes it out to be.

In a rational world there would be no need for an explanation.

Unfortunately we live in a country that frowns on facts, data, charts, math, science, research, biology, etc.

Education and FACTS in general are ignored on a regular basis in this country, especially in the political arena.

How else would one explain the TOTAL failure of trickle down economics, and the FAILED war on drugs still being pushed in the year 2013 ?
