Title: Sarah Palin: Rally 10/21/08 View count: 771 Rating: 2.0 (8 ratings) Description: Sarah Palin Rally Henderson, NV 10/21/08 TRANSCRIPT: SARAH PALIN: There is a difference, there is a difference between what Barack Obama says and what he does. And his primary opponent was a person first one to notice this. Out on the stump he talks good game about equal pay for equal work; but, according to the senate payroll records, women on his own staff get just 83 cents for every dollar that men get. [boos] That's $9,000 less every year than he pays the guys. And, you've got to ask, what is with that? Does he think that the women are working less hard? Does he think that they are 17% less productive? [applause] And Barack Obama can't just say that this is the way that it's always been done around the capitol because I know one senator that actually does pay women equal wages. [cheers] That's John McCain. [cheers continue.] See, this is just another reason that American women, Democrat, Republican, Independent, should not let Barack Obama just take their vote for granted. And let me give you a few more reasons, starting with his plan to, as he puts it [makes air-quotes gesture] "spread the wealth around." [boos] That is how our opponent defended his "so-called" tax cut to Joe the Plumber the other day, or Wendy the Plumber's daughter, there you go. Now, spreading the wealth around is really just a scheme for income distribution. Joe didn't buy it. Joe the Plumber, you would have none of that. He said that he sure thought that sounded like socialism. [cheers] And the rest of you shouldn't buy it either. Especially the millions of women in America who own small businesses. Women start as many small businesses as men start and they are entrepreneurs just trying to make a better life for themselves and for their families and trying to make payroll for their employees. They're women, just like Irma Eggie is her name, she owns a resturant. She dreamed for years of owning her own resturant. And she made it just a year ago. She owns the Donna Mexican resturant, right here in Las Vegas. [cheers] She was 23. And she's exactly the kind of small business owner who's taxes will go way up under the Obama tax plan. And the healthcare fines and mandates that our opponent would impose aren't going to help her much either. They're going to force her if they're going to be too high and they might even put her out of business and our opponent thinks he's get a problem with Joe the Plumber, well, he should talk to the Irma the Resturant Owner because she's voting for John Mccain too. [cheers] The working women of this country, those who work inside the home and outside the home are overlooked by politicians in Washington and Barack Obama hasn't given us a single reason to believe he would be any better. A company's balance sheet tallies up just the same whether it's a man or a woman and women want the same opportunities as men and their entitled to the same rewards. [cheers] See, the point is that women would suffer just as much from the massive tax increase of Senator Obama proposes and, you know, there are a lot of families in this country with no father present. And when we make laws in Washington those laws need to understand and serve the mothers who are taking care of their families and I've been very, very blessed to have a husband who's supported me along the way, he's a great dad, he doesn't dissapear at bath time or run from diapers. And I appreciate that but a lot have had it much much harder than I've had it and they need child care, which today can cost some families a third of their household budject. And they needs reforsm in labor laws that allow greater flexibility in the workplace, including more telecommuting and they need a tax code that doesn't penalize working families. They need health care that the family can take with them when they move or change jobs and they need better choices in retirement plans and worker retraining when things get tough, women also need equal pay for equal work and not just be a talking point. [cheers] It really is that simple. It's a matter of fundamental fairness, fairness in this country and to make all this happen, working mothersneed an advocate and they will have one when this working mother is working for all of you in the White House.
