New taxes for Mass taxpayers?

14. Cannot afford mistakes?

Yes, I understand, we should not have to pay for welfare administration, it should be self-regulating, like so much of life ????

Here you seem to have never had to visit a family in economic distress, nor do the job of keeping children and spouses and disabled and the ill and elderly safe and healthy. But that is what welfare workers do!!

I cannot afford their mistakes, it also seems that you cannot as well. Secondly most of the money does not really go to the people, most of it goes to getting the money to them. So the people responsible for controlling the money are the biggest cost.

Welfare workers literally sometimes risk their lives, visiting and verifying and ensuring the health and welfare of children, abused spouses, people very ill and the disabled. They don't make a lot of money, (about $35,000 to start with a college degree). They go into the toughest neighborhoods, where drug and alcohol abuse and illicit gun ownership abounds. They interview and assess the home life of the people they visit, encouraging positive moves to less dependence, greater independence, and a way back to self-sufficiency and healthy living.

Of course, you don't want to pay for that "biggest cost" anymore. Good luck with that!
