pennypyroFriend of a friend on facebook, about Steve King (US Rep., IA) :
"I've emailed him before about a bill trying to make it so men and women would make more similar wages. He emailed back that when you take into account education there is no difference in wages. In other words 'women make less because they are dumber.' It couldn't possibly be that women are less likely to be able to afford more education because they make less money, or that they are less incentivized to go college because they know they won't make as much anyway. Those things would be silly."
just one more reason Steve King makes me want to vomit.
