This is ridiculous.

  Society does not owe any special treatment to a single mom, not more than any other mom
That's not true, in the US provides aid packages and grants to single mothers.

  Single mother is a choice of an independent woman and if she cant afford it she should probably not make it.
Do you think all single mother chose to me single? Don't you think her previous boyfriend/husband could have dumped her/died/...?

  Instead of being thankful for an employer to have given an opportunity in first place she is ranting against her employer.
May be because said employer is terrible and it's worth sharing so other people would not make the same errors?

  I wont hire such a person.
No worries, she probably has no intention to work for you.

You seriously need to leave your cave and experience the life in a modern society.

Learning by Analogy:

But hey US uses drones to kill little kids in Pakistan and doctors in Afganistan.

Also society is not same as government. People voluntarily doing stuff is society. Few people through power of majority forcing everyone to pay up for single mothers is government.

Off-Topic. And taking countries where husbands can throw acid at there wife without legal repercussion is a terrible example.

It's called solidarity. You might have never heard of it in your cave
