Chamber of Commerce: No Equal Pay for Women

By Tula Connell

ADVERTISEMENTS
On the anniversary of the 19th Amendment which 90 years ago finally enabled U.S. women to cast a vote–the Chamber of Commerce took the opportunity to trash the movement for women to get equal pay at work.  In 2009, women who were full-time wage and salary workers had median weekly earnings of $657, or about 80 percent of the $819 median for their male counterparts.
The Chamber today approvingly quoted from a letter at the Cafe Hayek blog which asserted:
Not only does achievement of such ‘equality’ require the state to treat people unequally, obsession with income equality also reflects a Scrooge-like fetish for money. 
Let’s see. Frederick Hayek, the mid-20th century Austrian economist after whom the blog is named, championed captalism against the “evils” of social democracy. Capitalism means the freedom to–don’t tell, me let me guess: The freedom to MAKE MONEY.
Sounds like capitalism is a good argument for equal pay.
