Mitt Romney: Mothers Should Be Required To Work Outside Home Or Lose Benefits

WASHINGTON -- Poor women who stay at home to raise their children should be given federal assistance for child care so that they can enter the job market and "have the dignity of work," Mitt Romney said in January, undercutting the sense of extreme umbrage he showed when Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen quipped last week that Ann Romney had not "worked a day in her life."
The remark, made to a Manchester, N.H., audience, was unearthed by MSNBC's "Up w/Chris Hayes," and aired during the 8 a.m. hour of his show Sunday.
Ann Romney and her husband's campaign fired back hard at Rosen following her remark. "I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work," Romney said on Twitter.
On Sunday, Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg told The Huffington Post in an email, "Moving welfare recipients into work was one of the basic principles of the bipartisan welfare reform legislation that President Clinton signed into law. The sad fact is that under President Obama the poverty rate among women rose to 14.5 percent in 2011, the highest rate in 17 years. The Obama administration's economic policies have been devastating to women and families."

The shock and horror of voicing the opinion that taxpayers should not be footing the bill for welfare moms to keep having children and not work (or make any attempt at work).
First it was stay-at-home moms haven't done a day of work in their lives, and now this. Could it get any worse for the left?
Newsflash misfits. The ENTIRE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS wants welfare moms off welfare and paying their own way. Let that reality sink in for a while. The only folks that will be horrified by this are those like yourself who are too far gone into the entitlement vortex to understand how much resentment America has against you.
Keep it up misfits. We are begging you to.
