The U.S. GNP And American Women

Last year's GNP was a bit over 14 trillion dollars. The aggregate work product of American workers was more than $14 trillion!
The American woman, on average, earns $.77 for every dollar a man earns.
In order for American women, then, to earn, on average, $1.00 for every dollar a man earns, by
May 1st of 2013, our business community would have to dump a bit over 3trillion dollars into their aggregate payrolls within the next twelve months.
They won't do it.
Yes, they would much rather go to war, no matter what other word we might want to use for the possible conflict which could ensue.
In America, when someone dies because money was the lacking resource to keep that person alive,
most don't call that war.
However, when workers earn the money and benefits which would prolong the lives of loved ones, and
make the lives of loved ones more fulfilled, more self-activated; yet the money earned is not the money
paid...yes, that is something countries go to war in order to rectify. American women are not a separate
country, though there are enough of us to get the respect America gives any group.
The barbarians at the Roman gates of civilization were there originally because they needed back some of  the grain the Romans won from them in battles, in order to feed their families. Sacking wasn't the
original intention. Maybe a lesson to be learned is ...
Women, a civilized group in our country,  need to feed their families, as urgently as do men.
