Congresswoman Heather Wilson Faults Women in New Mexico for Low Wages

In last Friday's debate against Congressman Steve Pearce, Heather Wilson was asked how she would raise incomes of women here in New Mexico and around the country. Her first reply was she would raise her own income by being elected to the U.S. Senate. Her second response was to blame women for not having higher degrees and for no being more willing to put their own jobs at risk by demanding higher pay from their employers. New Mexico is an "at will employment state" and an employer can discharge an employee without cause for no reason. Way to go! Ms. Common Sense Conservative exactly who is going to pay the bills for those women and their families when they no longer have a job? I would love to hear Heather try to define what the term "Common Sense" means to her. I don't get the feeling that most New Mexican women would define it as putting their jobs at risk with no guarantee of higher wages as a result of their demands. Somehow I don't get the feeling that small business owners will be all that ecstatic about her advice to New Mexican women either. I will give her the fact that Congressman Steve Pearce appeared to agree whole heartily with her on this issues of fair equal pay for women.
