Ok, you get to the end, and then lose me.

The gender-wage gap, the story that women make 70 cents on the dollar, is complete bunk and has been disproven more times than should be necessary.
Women, by their choices, work in more comfortable but lower paid fields. They work less hours and less overtime. They do not work the highly dangerous, high paying jobs. Women are less motivated in seeking raises, etc.

But, if you take a man and a women, who work in the same field, with the same education level, with the same skills, working the same number of hours, then the woman makes 108% of what the man makes, 120% if you count in maternity leave.

And, by the way, with hiring quotas, the young male employment rate in america is estimated to be about 50%. That there is the future destruction of our country.

I would like everyone who reads this to stop being stupid.
When govern-cement says "tax the rich" they do not mean the top 8 people. They mean the two professional income families. This whole tax thing started as a "we will only tax the rich".

The real rich can never be taxed. And I mean never, as in we should never try / we are stupid if we try. The real rich make the laws, and so, any push in that direction will always come back to bite us.

The other reason the real rich never pay taxes is because of the way they make their money. If you own a stock and its value goes up, can you be taxed on that? The answer is no. If you work for a corporation as the CEO and make $1 per year (plus stock options) how much is your taxes? If you have a corporation that doesn't make any money (its income equals its expenses) but it buys and pays for the corporate mansion and the corporate car and the corporate dinners how much is your taxes?
