the whole truth is this isnt just about women and that this bill is an amendment to the existing bill that provides these protections already. you purposely try to deceive people by telling partially true statements. you dont tell the whole truth. btw, you spelled genius incorrectly, genius.
Do the research you say you want.
it's called burden of proof.

but the question is "why didnt everyone support the bill?"
this is an old article about the bill but is the point still not valid?

Plain Speaking About Really Bad “Fair Pay” Bill One of the bills I discussed was the Fair Pay Act, which would prohibit wage discrimination for work in “equivalent jobs,” defined in terms of “value” rather than duties. Somehow courts would divine the “value” of functionally dissimilar jobs so as to proclaim them “equivalent.”
According to the National Committee on Pay Equity, very different jobs would be compared. For example, in an elementary school, head secretaries would be found of equal value to audiovisual technicians; in a hospital, registered nursing assistants equal to plumbers; in a retail food chain, cashiers, meat wrappers, and stock clerks all equal.

that is called sensational reporting. i would also like to point out that you posted that he is "Against Women's Equal Pay" when in fact this is about "DISCRIMINATION IN COMPENSATION BECAUSE OF RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN" and the reason it was voted against. the part about women is a classic sensational reporting tactic because even christian white men in their 20's who were born and raised in the USA can and are discriminated against.
the bottom line is that these provisions are already in place but just need to be enforced so the amendment is a moot point that has potentially adverse side effects. sorry but your non-english speaking janitors are not entitles to the same amount of money as i am.
