Dignity

[cthulu2016]

Mitt Romney speaking in January:

I also like the idea that people who are receving assistance -- welfare assistance -- have a responsibility of working. In my state we made good progress in that regard, following the days of the Welfare Reform Act. But then while I was governor, 85 percent of the people on a form of welfare assistance in my state had no work requirment. And I wanted to increase the work requrement. I said, for instance, even if you have a child two years of age, you need to go to work. And people said "Oh, that's heartless." I said no, no, I'm willing to spend more giving daycare to allow those parents to go back to work, it will cost the state more, providing that daycare, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work.

To recap, Romney is saying that a woman on public assistance who has a two year-old child should be required to work even if it costs the state more money (to pay her childcare so she can work) than it would cost the state to make the same welfare payment without a work requirement.

The state should spend extra money to make sure that the woman works outside the home because staying at home with her two year-old lacks dignity.

2. he also told a single mother in Mass that she should put her baby up for adoption

rather than burden him with being raised in a single parent home.
She was a divorced mother of one son already, who became pregnant out of wedlock.
She knew the Romney's because she had been a babysitter for their children.

He gave her this advice in his role as Bishop in the Mass. LDS church.

Her name is Peggie Hayes.
