“….has actually never worked a day in her life. She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of women in this country are facing.” – Hilary Rosen, democratic operative, referring to Ann Romney

Hilary Rosen’s indictment of Ann Romney was quickly – and rightfully so – disavowed by the left, and condemned by the right. However, when we look past the outrage and at Rosen’s words, she is quite correct: A quick scan of her and Mitt’s Wikipedia biographies show that they were both born to affluent households. (I should add, much like most of the presidential candidates of recent decades.)

So, what of it? Far from revealing any hitherto unknown fact about the Romneys, Rosen has done us the favor of revealing a bit about herself and her impression of the electorate. Rosen and her ilk expect – no, require us to look at the economically privileged with contempt and jealousy. We are to believe that anything that they have achieved beyond the middle-class status quo is ill-gotten and the result of somehow leeching off the great unwashed. That many of us aspire to the ability to have one parent at home is anathema to the left, whose entire agenda is based upon the idea that Americans can’t rise above without intervention from the state.

Best to have BOTH parents at home.

I thought Obama was referring to himself when he was referring to Ann Romney being a stay at home mom.

Obama - Making more stay at home parents

With the Unemployment rate the way it is.....
YES, he is making more stay at home parents...

[Vince Ferrer]

Smart Republican state legislatures and governors can help out by make it easier to have a parent home school their kids while they are unemployed.

The left relates more to the Hillary Clinton prerogative, “I work, you screw who ever you want and sexually assault and harass women.”
More to their shame they never acknowledge the fact.....that they are for most part pimps trying to make the uniformed, hookers for the Political Left>

Most welfare Mothers never worked a day in their life.

Hillary and Moochelle both had fake jobs while the State paid for nannies to raise their children. At least the Romneys paid for everything with their own money.

Yep, I don’t think I heard the Left talking about that.

The big secret that people don’t want to admit to is that when women entered the workforce in large numbers, it pushed wages down. Good old supply and demand. When the supply of labor went up and up, the price for that labor went down.

That’s one reason that today many folks have to have 2 incomes to survive. That is part of the price we pay for choice. I’m NOT suggesting that we go back to the 1920s, but I find it supremely ironic that the feminist wanted change, got it, and now deride women that don’t make the same choices that they have made. As if their choices never have a down side.
