Ann says Mitt called it more important work than his own, which does make you wonder why he didn’t stay home with the boys himself. When performed for pay, however, this supremely important, difficult job becomes low-wage labor that almost anyone can do—teenagers, elderly women, even despised illegal immigrants. But here’s the real magic: when performed by low-income single mothers in their own homes, those same exact tasks—changing diapers, going to the playground and the store, making dinner, washing the dishes, giving a bath—are not only not work; they are idleness itself.<br /><br />From the previous link ... meant to post sigh.kentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-90222395796564613292012-04-20T00:23:19.073-04:002012-04-20T00:23:19.073-04:00http://www.thenation.com/article/167456/ann-romney...http://www.thenation.com/article/167456/ann-romney-working-womankentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-64722026917909933962012-04-19T23:44:47.431-04:002012-04-19T23:44:47.431-04:00There is more dignity in the labor you describe th...There is more dignity in the labor you describe than collecting money from the taxpayer to feed your children so that you avoid such labor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-45663522775585511532012-04-19T23:43:02.919-04:002012-04-19T23:43:02.919-04:00Poor stay at home moms were not accused of not hav...Poor stay at home moms were not accused of not having dignity, parents who do not get a job and stay home while the taxpayer subsidizes their children were accused of not having dignity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-72104398075902022782012-04-19T20:49:00.250-04:002012-04-19T20:49:00.250-04:00Face it, "people don't watch those shows&...Face it, "people don't watch those shows" because they suck.

He deduces that by supporting limitations on welfare to single mothers, the Reps proved that they don't think single mothers do real work at home. In other words, Hayes evidently believes that Reps can't possibly approve of some act or institution (such as the work that single mothers do at home), unless they give money to support that act or institution. It doesn't occur to Hayes that Republicans (and a majority of voters) might agree that single mothers do real work at home but still be unwilling to support these mothers perpetually on welfare.<br /><br />Sadly, the view that the government must give benefits to everything they think is good seems to be entrenched in Washington. Far to many things get some sort of federal goodie, just because Congress approves of them.<br /><br />E.g., a friend got a special tax break for her luxury car, because that car has a elatively efficient engine. Multiply this sort of special favor by a zillion, and one will understand how we arrived at such a jumble of incomprehensible and expensive laws and regulation. <br /><br />IMHO it would be wonderful if the government could start over and do those things it's required to do or needs to do, and do those things honestsly and efficiently.David in Calnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-82643767838135219402012-04-19T18:23:15.476-04:002012-04-19T18:23:15.476-04:00Frankly, anyone can understand that Rosen was talk...Frankly, anyone can understand that Rosen was talking about WORK as in go out and have a job work.
