This is it- Jim - This is the question that we all must face- Who is in need for help????

We both believe that if someone is disabled or mentally ill they should get some help.

I also believe that some people that have been screwed up by no family life should get services from social service organizations to teach them how to be parents and break the cycle. You and I and Bill Cosby would agree that only a solid family life and responsible influence will ever solve the problem.

In my view, the tax money I am talking about does not get redistributed to the "client". it goes to dedicated social workers who have masters degrees in social work and some of them are making $32,000 and in CT they have not had a raise in 24 months because the CT Department of mental health and addiction services had no money from the Legislature and could not provide a salary cost of living increase.

So I think some of these people in poverty need help- not money but services. I have seen it work.
