"Women are the engine that powers America’s economic future. What Republicans are trying to do is make sure that our economic engine is operating 77% of capacity. For a party that claims to understand the economy better than Democrats, this is a really stupid agenda.
The Republican agenda is being pushed by a group of white men who see their status atop the economic pyramid slipping away, and they want it back. This is the root motivation behind most of their policy positions. Republicans continue to believe that the country is only at its best when white conservative men are in charge."
