In a way, it's very hard to see why equal pay for equal work is so 
controversial, since it's so logical.  So what's the real problem?
Employers can't afford it, prices would go sky-high, etc.?
TOUGH.
This economy was built on the under- (or un-)paid labor of blacks, women,
newly arrived immigrants, etc. Complaints about higher prices
as a result of equal pay are therefore indefensible.
If our capitalist economy is truly the marvel it's supposed to be,
an example for the rest of the world to follow, then it cannot allow
such inequalities to remain the status quo.

I'll be holding a campaign/pep rally at 4:00 in the park.
