Inequality in Texas Again?

      Once again I'm here with another inequality issue in Texas, but this week it's about equal pay for women. From one article I read on The Burnt Orange Report titled Op-ed: Raise the MInimum Wage in Texas I learned that in Texas women are still facing wage discrimination even 100 years after Susan B. Anthony helped women win the right to vote. Texas State Senator Sylvia R. Garcia recently said, "that a woman makes 79 cents to every one dollar a man make and that African American and Latina women make even less." I really disagree with what is happening to women in Texas. Women make up a majority of the work force which only leads me to believe that they are the ones supporting the Texas economy. Texas needs to make equal wages law no matter gender, race, or any other reason. I think that the inequality is unconstitutional and something must be done to help the welfare of Texas as a whole.

      If there anything that the Texas government can do it would not only be to make pay equal for both women and men but another idea would be to also raise minimum wage. This would be the constitutional thing to do but also very beneficial to the economy here in Texas. I know that women  make up a large part of the money being spent here in Texas but yet many of these women fall under the poverty line. This is unacceptable for the women of Texas. Making wages equal won't be the final solution but it would be a huge step in the right direction.
