"The market says this women is low value. Why should I disagree?"

A take for the ages.

yeah how else do you want to organise who gets paid what? its nice and virtuous to claim that poor women should get paid more.

but there's simply not that much money to redistribute, unless more companies provide employment and drive labour demand up - exactly what is happening in this article.

so you can gesture all you want about women being poor and deserving more money, but it doesn't mean anything. you can't pay them above market rate, where will the money come from? certainly not taxes - there's simply not enough to go by.
