Democratic front-runner has long history of underpaying her female employees

The foundation’s 2013 IRS form 990 reveals that nearly three times as many men as women occupy the executive suites at the Little Rock, Arkansas-based foundation. On average, top male executives at the foundation earn $109,000 more than the top female executives with positions in the C-suite.
The "of course" piece of that headline is, needless to say, a reference to the many other "pay gap" violations of which Hillary Clinton has been guilty over the years. Under the Democrats' clumsy calculations, she has under-paid women in her
Senate office and at her State Department. The Daily Caller documents the latest transgression. Why must the Clinton Foundation wage this brutal, mean-spirited war on women? Are they unsatisfied with their separate war on transparency and good government? Questions abound. Details:

On average, top male executives at the foundation earn $109,000 more than the top female executives with positions in the C-suite.
The piece goes on to note that Mrs. Clinton was out beating the drums on this very "issue" earlier in the week, highlighting the fact that the presumptive Democratic nominee timed her campaign launch last year to coincide with the annual made-for-politics "equal pay day:"
Clinton has called for a multi-pronged effort to close the gap, starting by passing the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would add some teeth to the 50-year-old Equal Pay Act by preventing employers from retaliating against workers who share wage information. She’s also called for a higher federal minimum wage and new laws requiring employers to provide paid family and medical leave (she and her opponent Bernie Sanders agree on that front). “I feel like [equal pay] is something that’s long overdue but I know we’ve got to keep moving forward,” Clinton said. Equal Pay day this year falls on the one-year anniversary of the launch of Clinton’s presidential campaign. At the kickoff event held in New York City that day, Clinton promised to keep pay parity front and center in her bid for the Democratic nomination. “It is way past time to end the outrage of so many women still earning less than men on the job — and women of color often making even less,” she said. “This isn’t a women’s issue. It’s a family issue.”
As for Clinton's hypocrisy, Democrats will indignantly link to various fact-checkers who've "debunked" the numbers, explaining that the calculations involved are somewhat cherry-picked and fail to take important factors into account. Which is exactly the point. Lefties do precisely the same thing when they wield deeply misleading "X cents on the dollar" statistics as a cudgel to hammer Republicans who oppose their latest pointless, coercive government "solution" to a problem that they deliberately inflate with bogus numbers, derived from wildly simplistic math. As we've documented in the past, the alleged 'pay gap' almost entirely vanishes when the data is analyzed in a thoughtful, nuanced way -- and that most of that gap is due to women's choices, as opposed to discrimination. But because Democrats only apply nuance to themselves, Republicans can be forgiven for responding in kind and asking why the Clinton Foundation hates women, and not just as it relates to the mega-bucks it pulls in from undisclosed foreign donors and authoritarian regimes with terrible records on women's rights. Should Hillary Clinton pay a political price for this two-faced nonsense? Sure. Will she? In light of Donald Trump's extraordinarily horrendous ratings among female voters, it seems unlikely. I'll leave you with this data point

on married women, a demographic Republicans traditionally win. Yeesh:0 -
Hillary Clinton has long positioned herself as a champion of equal pay for women. Ironically, new reports show that the former Secretary of State is, herself, part of the problem.
During her time in the U.S. Senate, Clinton paid women in her office 72 cents for each dollar paid to men, according to a report by Washington Free Beacon.
Analyzing data obtained from official Senate expenditure reports, Free Beacon concluded that the median annual salary for female staffers was $15,708.38 less than the median salary for men, between 2002 to 2008.
That's about a 28 percent gender wage gap:...Post edited by Free on0 -
You think that proves a pay gap??With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

The defending and excusing of this woman is phenomenal. Do you feel she'all come after you if you don't efend and excuse when there isn't a clear reason to defend? Is it your fear at work?0

Um, no, I am just responding to the false propaganda you are passing around. If you were doing it with Trump or any other candidate I would do the same thing (and have to others). I am just getting sick of all the bullshit being spread around.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

It's "false" because you don't like hearing it. Got it.0

No, it's false because there is absolutely no evidence to show that it's true. It is a made up conclusion. I am honestly not a Hillary supporter any further than knowing that she needs to beat Trump. I was over in the Trump thread defending him about not paying taxes because it was being framed as though he was evading taxes. Another bullshit made up conclusion. I am sick of it on both sides. I just so happens that the majority of it is being done about Hillary, because it is harder to find real things that will outrage voters with her. Not you though. You are dying to be outraged when it comes to Hillary and Hillary alone, so you are buying into the the fake conclusions and caring them fact.Free said:It's "false" because you don't like hearing it.

Do a little more research. There are 17 "civilian and military" agencies...remember that's what she said: Air Force Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, Coast Guard Intelligence, Defense Intelligence Agency, Energy Department, Homeland Security Department, State Department, Treasury Department, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Marine Corps Intelligence, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency, Navy Intelligence and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.tonifig8 said:No, Hillary, 17 U.S. Intelligence Agencies Did Not Say Russia Hacked Dem E-mails

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/441266/hillary-clinton-democratic-emails-hacked-russia
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, speaks on behalf of all of them. James Clapper released this statement:
The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.

so where are those weapons of mass destruction? Didn't they also say there were weapons of mass destruction? Should I just believe them because they have no factual evidence that it was Russia? Or should I just believe you because apparently the only one who can be right is Clinton?mrussel1 said:

Let's be clear, you're aping Trump's response to the question which is fine for you, but wholly unpatriotic for a candidate running for POTUS considering this is primary source of information for the president to make military decisions.tonifig8 said:

This is a direct response to the clintonites who keep using Russia as an excuse for the factual shit coming out of your camp.
But let's explore your answer.
1. It has nothing to do with the "indictment" you linked. Fred Barnes (Iraq intellectual architect, btw) is arguing what she said is false. It isn't. It's true.
2. The agencies certainly failed in 2003. But what now? Do we disband it and go with a 'gut based' strategy for intelligence decisions? Should we not try to improve our sources and intelligence? What precisely are you arguing?
3. You shouldn't believe me. I could care less if you believe Clinton. But both Clinton and Trump should utilize the resources and infrastructure whose #1 priority is the security of the US citizens.
And the bottom line is Clinton is accurately quoting those resources...accurately.0 -
