Having been subjected to the situation discussed in this artical myself, not only was I paid lower wages than the man who had the job beforeme, I was paid less than half what he made. I also carried out more duties and had more responsibilities. After four years of this, I finally found a better job. It is just wrong when you see someone working less and not as hard and they make more money because they are a man. Especially when some of them are not even here in this country legally. And you are told that you will not ever make as much as they do simply because "you are a woman and women don't get paid that much". It almost seems pointless to even go vote. Who are the alternatives besides the current one and this man? Mitt Romney couldn't answer a simple question? What is so difficult in answering the fact that anyone who does the same job, produces the same work and works the same hour should get equal pay. I am not putting down the men who work hard and deserve the good wages they receive there, there is nothing more respectable and honorable than a hard working man or woman.
