Senate Republicans again kill Paycheck Fairness Act
04/09/14 12:52 PM—Updated 04/09/14 01:06 PM
The third time was not the charm. Democratic efforts to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act failed to overcome Republican opposition in the 111th Congress and the 112th Congress, and as of this morning, it failed once again at the hands of a GOP filibuster.
Senate Republicans filibustered a debate on a Democratic pay equity bill backed by President Barack Obama Wednesday.

Opinion: EQUAL PAY OR OPPORTUNITY FOR OUTRAGE
Katie Packer Gage
Facebook response:
The data is clear – the pay gap is real and exist between white men and white women, white men and women of color, and what is the elephant in the room, between white men and men of color. This translates to a severe wealth gap for families of color in this country. BLS and ACS data published in AAUW’s 2014 pay equity research, The Simple Truth, shows a pay gap for all groups when compared to the earnings of white males.
So, YES, Ms. Packer Gage, the opportunity present, is to close the wealth gap in this country and equal pay (like raising the minimum wage) is one critical way to make that happen. Outrage? Does this inequity strongly offends? Yes. Does it arouse feelings of injury, insult and injustice? Yes. Can these feelings transform into effective actions for change, by all means. May the outrage resound loudly quieted only when social economic justice has been achieved.
