Outrageous Pay Gaps Need Fixing Now!

From Kyle Smith writing at Forbes.com:

...yet, the more laws we pass to remedy these various disparities, the more obvious it becomes that we haven’t gotten to the cruelest and most sordid pay anomalies.

... front line, entry-level fast-food workers are paid only 51 cents on the dollar compared to their managers. Are these two jobs really that different?

Did you know that 

the median wage for aerospace engineers is $1,645 a week?

For lawyers $1,909 a week?

For architectural and engineering managers $2,122 a week?

Compared to these workers, food preparation and serving workers are getting paid only 23 cents on the dollar, 20 cents on the dollar and an unseemly and brutally unfair 18 cents on the dollar.

Are any of these Americans more or less deserving than any others?

...President Obama, you’re thinking far too small.

Forget all of the above legislation. Don’t bother with meaningless executive orders that solve the nonexistent problem of workers being forbidden to discuss their pay with one another.

The Equal Pay for Everyone Act would mandate that employers stop discriminating on the basis of economic value, and pay all working Americans exactly the same wage every week, forever.
