"Please allow me to set the record straight. We strongly support equal pay for equal work, and I'm proud that I live in a country where it's illegal to discriminate in the workplace thanks to the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964," said Jenkins. "Some folks don't understand that women have become an extremely valuable part of the workforce today on their own merit, not because the government mandated it."
Rep Lynn Jenkins,
Republican, of course.
Because the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were acts of magic and not mandates required by the evil government. It must be magic because the laws certainly could not have been the result of actual governance by the men and women we send to DC to govern.
This belief in magic is not restricted to Congresswoman Jenkins as evidenced by the refusal of the Republican Congress to enact any legislation other than ACA repeals. Because magic will make everything better. Someday.
The Good Witch of the North, perhaps dressed up as a Koch brother, will simply wave her wand and poof. People will have jobs. Children will have lunch. Sick people will have medicine.
And the United States will someday be number one in a category other than rate of incarceration. And stupid, stupid politicians.
