Of course it doesn't, but to people like Valerie Jarrett, it's much easier to blame bigotry than face the facts.  For example, "half of American women leave the job market during their lives, sometimes for decades, to raise children, which puts them behind men who never leave the workforce. Women gravitate to teaching, nursing, secretarial and service work, which pay less than jobs where men predominate: mining, manufacturing, construction and the military."  Jarrett doesn't care about that, her goal is equality even if it reduces your freedom by getting the government involved. "Under the Paycheck Fairness Act, writes Jarrett, "employers will be required to prove in court that any wage differences were based on factors other than sex -- such as education, training or experience -- and were consistent with business necessity."   So now you're guilty until proven innocent just so we can have "equality"?

Buchanan points out that "Equality is not even mentioned in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, and the 14th Amendment's "equal protection" clause did not even make an appearance until after the Civil War. And that was about equal justice under law, not the socioeconomic equality of all Americans."
