http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ivanka-trump-supports-white-house-move-to-halt-equal-pay-data-ruleBy ESME CRIBB Published AUGUST 30, 2017 11:48 AM
First daughter Ivanka Trump, who made wage equality and workplace protections for women one of her signature issues on the campaign trail and in her personal brand, declared her support for the White Houses announcement Tuesday that it will halt a proposal requiring businesses to disclose employees pay, gender, race and ethnicity.
While I believe the intention was good and agree that pay transparency is important, the proposed policy would not yield the intended results, Trump told the Wall Street Journal. We look forward to continuing to work with EEOC, OMB, Congress and all relevant stakeholders on robust policies aimed at eliminating the gender wage gap.
Neomi Rao, the head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, told the Wall Street Journal that the rule would have been enormously burdensome.
We dont believe it would actually help us gather information about wage and employment discrimination, she said.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the White House said the information that would be collected under the rule would be too excessive to comply with the federal Paperwork Reduction Act.
But HER and DADDY'S administration want to gather tons of info on every voter in the US?
Oh, but Teh Paperworkz!
