The Obama administration wants more women to work outside the home, and it is examining ways to make that happen.
Among other things, Stevenson said the Working Families Summit will consider ways to "release constraints" on women, including their role as care-givers, which deprive them of wages and career opportunities:
(President Obama also spoke of the "burdens" on women Wednesday. During a meeting with female members of Congress, he noted that "women are still the ones that are carrying the greatest burden when it comes to trying to balance family and work. Because of inadequate child care or the inability to get paid leave for a sick child or an ailing parent, they end up suffering the burdens, and by the way, that means families are suffering the burden because increasingly, women are a critical breadwinner for families all across the country.")

He just wants to make all of our yokes easy and our burdens light, but only in the best post-Christian, secular humanist, socialist way. Creepy.

Thanks God for women. God has endowed them with an abundance of love and caring for their family. But it is the government that endowed them with the burden of bread winner by making it palpable for business to export the jobs of their husband. Of course, business needs little incentive to grab for a bigger share of the money where men and women compete for the same job.
How about easing working burdens on FAMILY Women?
I stopped right there.
Who cares what they "want?"
Leave us alone!
Hell. Let’s just give mothers 2 years off with pay and dad 2 or 3 months a year with pay to help. That would ease the burden. And mandatory minimum wage of 30 per hour now that they have kids to feed.
Egads—we’re doomed.
How about cutting all Middle Class families’ taxes in half, so that working women don’t have to work to pay their families’ taxes? In the ‘50s, mothers could stay home and tend to their children and home because families could get along nicely on the father’s paycheck.
Then this rapacious government started hogging the families’ resources, forcing mothers to work, and our children have suffered for it. No one can “have it all” except the greedy government, of course. They can never do with less
“So let me get this straight....the government wants more women WITH families to work? And these women then have to not only work, but take care of families? Many of these women don’t have husbands and of the ones that do I’ll guarantee that the majority of men don’t do the majority of caring for the children.
So INSTEAD of freeing women from WORK, the government wants to FREE them from raising their family SO they can work??”

No this is some kind of ploy to get obamacare to pay for abortions and birth control you just watch. I know what they are up to. If women did not have the “burden” of children then they could work.
Well it’s not going to work. Because no matter how much birth control a woman takes or how many abortions she has her biological clock will go off like a fire alarm in a high rise causing her to want a baby and from there on it’s no stopping her. Like the old saying goes “You can’t fool Mother Nature”.
Are any “middle class” families paying that much in income tax?
The top 20% are paying 93% of all US income taxes.

I seem to remember his relieving the “burden” would be that they never become mothers.
You are right on.
He already did that by pushing abortion. You know, don’t burden those gals with a baby.
I can fix this better than Obama, keep it in yer pants.
BINGO! That's exactly what this is.
They started gradually. With public schools. Can you imagine giving your CHILD to strangers for 30 hours per week? If someone came down from another planet, they wouldn't believe it. But we STILL think schools are the normal thing to do. From there, K, pre-K, universal daycare, and of course, the draft, are just increments. The State becomes God and owns us.
Homeschooling is probably the most important issue out there. Look for a crackdown.
And for the babies that do slip by and are born, they have plans to have the gov’t take care of them from that moment on.

If they want to work accept the burden totally or quit!
Time off for family it total bull crap.
I don’t get time off to run a business and i don’t give anyone time off from work, male or female.
I didn’t say “income taxes.” I refer to all taxes by all governments, local, state and federal, that have their snouts in the taxpayers’ pockets. Many working women make $3000/mo. or less. If they are paying for childcare, it is a money losing proposition.
The good part is most non-income taxes can be avoided / mitigated by lifestyle and location changes.
Even devout liberals move to Florida to die to avoid state death taxes, as an example.
Yes.
The guvment will then set up state run daycares to be paid for with your tax dollars.
the guvment will then be able to completely indoctrinate the kids from cradle to grave.
the guvment will then have a new dependency class.
but it’s all ok because...wait for it:
IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!!
Such BS.
How about ease the burden on women who refute society’s crap and sacrifice to stay home and raise kids who become contributors to society?
That’s what I did. I stayed home and made do, did without EVERYTHING, sacrificed career, vacations, fancy furniture and raised great kids who are now contributing tax-paying non-burdensome non-criminal members of society.
What do I get for all that effort??
The working women I knew did pretty well, dressed really nice, got away from their parenting responsibilities for 8hours a day ...ate lunch out, went on nice vacations and had really nice homes. A lot of their kids turned out fine, but some also turned out really screwed up from lack of close minded parenting.
What was the NET gain or loss in these matters?
