74 Percent
by mabelle55

This is what women earn, compared to men.

And it's worse for Black women, Hispanic women and Asian women.

And try living on Social Security or a pension that is paid out based on how much you earn in your lifetime. Or try caring not only for children, but aging and ill parents, as well on earnings that are just 74% of men's wages. And try being over 40 in this country and getting a decent job promotion. And god forbid you should lose a job at that age, because nobody wants to hire women when they hit "middle age."

You snarky, snot-nosed, bratty, spoiled young women -- or at least your comments are such -- have not one clue about living in the "real world" and it shows in this tragic hit piece against Hillary Clinton. You have no idea what Hillary Clinton has done because you continue to buy into the left hemisphere's lines of hatred and the right-wing vitriol against her; and you also use those tactics to judge her.

I happen to know Hillary Clinton; I worked in Washington, D.C. when Bill Clinton was president and experienced, first-hand, what Hillary Clinton did for women, for children and for families. She did more for women of all races and backgrounds in one year than you will probably ever do for women in your lifetimes. That you have no respect for her or for any woman who has gone before and shattered barriers that you don't have to makes me sick.

You are not feminists. You are brainless, spineless, selfish, self-abosrbed, ADHD, woman-hating women who would rather be men; you are so attracted to the chic new Black, Barack Obama, that you will sell out yourselves and other women, planting knives firmly in their backs, to climb aboard his train, which is filled to the brim with some of the most misogynistic "liberal" men I have encountered since the 60s and 70s. It takes no intelligence to do that. It certainly takes no courage. And it absolutely takes no conviction.

I can't wait until you both turn 65, so you will know exactly what it feels like to be unwanted, dismissed, and living in poverty, like bag ladies. Maybe then you'll understand that you had one great chance to support somebody who could make life better for the "least among us" around the world, and who actually has made life better for the "least among us". Maybe then you'll figure out that you blew it because you're too interested in winning a popularity contest.

What do you suppose your daughters and your granddaughters will think of you then?
