Comments on: Senate Kills Equal Pay Bill http://progressiveworldreview.com/2008/05/01/senate-kills-equal-pay-bill/ Providing rational discussion on today's issues Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:23:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Paul Wilden http://progressiveworldreview.com/2008/05/01/senate-kills-equal-pay-bill/#comment-53 Paul Wilden Fri, 02 May 2008 15:45:14 +0000 http://progressiveworldreview.com/?p=82#comment-53 As I mentioned in my post, this "issue" is largely a manufactured one. Most law suits are about one business suing another one. This "problem" is nothing but a smokescreen to keep everyday Americans from seeking justice. The Supreme Court decision I mentioned started with a woman manager with the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company who after 19 years of service discovered that she was being paid $6500 less than any other manager. And this "limit" had nothing to do with the <em>valididy</em> of her complaint, only that she waited too long to <em>bring</em> the complaint, which as I also mentioned is completely unreasonable. Talking about limiting litigation is one thing but if the "limits" are preventing justice from being served then we're not <em>curing</em> a societal problem, we're <em>encouraging</em> one. As far as McCain is concerned, my post is about how our government is increasingly working in favor of business to the detriment of the majority of Americans it was intended to serve. And I clearly pointed out how McCain is a part of the problem rather than the cure.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('53','Paul Wilden'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('53','Paul Wilden','As I mentioned in my post, this \"issue\" is largely a manufactured one.

Talking about limiting litigation is one thing but if the “limits” are preventing justice from being served then we’re not curing a societal problem, we’re encouraging one.

As far as McCain is concerned, my post is about how our government is increasingly working in favor of business to the detriment of the majority of Americans it was intended to serve. And I clearly pointed out how McCain is a part of the problem rather than the cure.

The endless lawsuits (and associated costs) HAVE created real issues in our society. Add to it that "everyone sues" has become the norm, and that is the true "absurd" thing. I don't see this as a Dem or Repub thing. I see it as a real society problem that I do not see being cured any time soon. We sue first now and that is the problem, whether justified or not. Finally, your last comment about McCain has nothing to do with the article you posted above it, lol<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('52','Political Disgust'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('52','Political Disgust','I think there should be limits on these things.
