Who would be deciding how much a job is worth?  Laurie Sefton would have
us believe that industrial psychologists and industrial engineers would be
doing that.  No way.  There will always be disputes about how much a job
is worth.  It will always be possible to find an industrial psychologist
to back your opinion of how much a job is worth.  These disputes will
always be settled in court.  And faced with conflicting testimony, the
judge will always pick a solution that he or she finds "fair."

Comparable worth means that wages will be set by the government, not by
the market.  Economic chaos follows not far behind.
