would work by forcing employers to pay their workers the same amount for equal work. At the time the act was passed, women were only making 59 cents for every dollar that was paid to men and today women make 78 cents for every dollar paid to men.

Not only has the Equal Pay Act taken a long time to take effect, employers are finding loopholes in the act to get away with…

Jeb states his opinion that a simple 20 cent tax per bag would be an acceptable deterrent, the tax is portrayed as a progressive compromise. On the contrary, residents of Seattle voted to reject the referendum to impose the 20 cent tax. The City of Seattle then conducted it’s own Survey where it found the tax to be grossly unpopular, a potentially important statement seemingly overlooked…

I want to discuss the current gas prices. Why do the gas prices change from day to day? Today the average gas price has come down about 40 cents, since early April of this year.

doesn’t matter what kind of character you have as long as you wear nice clothes and look “clean” people will treat you with respect and regard you as an equal. I need to get up and walk two blocks and wait outside the supermarket. People always drop cents there because they are in a rush to get to their cars. Outside of the supermarket I watch a woman with tight jeans and a tight white shirt that barely covers her layers of fat holding 6 bags filled with groceries. A little girl is walking next…
