With that said, what our moms really deserve is an economy where women are given equal pay for equal work. Sadly, today, in the United States of America, women earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by their male colleagues. So I respectfully suggest that on this Mother's Day we as a Nation commit to pay equity for all, regardless of gender. And to my own mother, I thank you for your zest of life, unwavering encouragement, unconditional love, and your matzo ball soup. Thank you, Mother. Happy Mother's Day. ___________________
