http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/scott-walker-clinton-using-equal-pay-pit-one-group-americans-versus-anotherIn an interview with Boston Herald Radio last week, Wisconsin Gov.

But I think even a bigger issue than that, he said, and this is sadly something that would make her consistent with the president, and that is I believe that the president and now Hillary Clinton tend to think that politically they do better if they pit one group of Americans versus another.
He said that, in contrast, Americans are hungry for leaders who will make every Americans life better rather than those who want to pit one group against another group out there.
He added that equal pay legislation is part of the liberal plot to get Americans dependent on the government: For them, their measure of success in government is how many people are dependent on the government, how many people are dependent, on whether its Medicaid or food stamps or health care or other things out there.
