Mother & ChildLast week Mitt Romney praised the work of stay at home moms, but new information reveals he didn’t feel the same about poor mothers receiving government assistance.

While he defended his wife, Ann, against suggestions that stay at home mothers didn’t work, in January Romney sung a different tune.

In New Hampshire Romney said, “Even if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, ‘Well that’s heartless.’ And I said, ‘No, no, I’m willing to spend more giving day care to allow those parents to go back to work. It’ll cost the state more providing that daycare, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work.’”

Romney was born into wealth and reportedly has a net worth near a quarter of a billion dollars (Romney has not released his tax returns). For most American families, they do not have the luxury to choose to stay at home as the Romney family did.
