Should stay- at- home moms get a salary from the government? Thesis: I believe stay- at- home moms shouldn't get a salary from the government. I believe this countries government is helping enough by providing free schooling, protection, and even provides EBT for those who need assistance buying food and even cash assistance for those who don't have a good enough salary to maintain their household.

She also stated that instead of bickering over others comments, Republicans and Democrats can show their support for stay- at- home moms to choose that route.
