Don't get me wrong, I am completely for salaries based on merit alone and think sex differentials should have zero, no difference. But these reports about the pay in Mr. "Equal Pay" Obama's offices seem interesting, especially as compared to McCain -- although as with most such studies I do not presume a causal relationship to evidence of discrimination. But since Obama, see here for example, does make such presumptions when there is a disparity in pay . . . .
Click here and here for the reports.
I think these reports provide a ridiculous critique, but equally ridiculous are most of the claims, like Obama's, for coercive equal pay requirements rather than allowing the market to set salaries based on merit.
