Dee I’m sorry. I hope your daughter is still safe.I know where I would like to start a discussion. What if we eliminated some major tax loopholes and used that money to start caring for the mentally ill like a country that’s not numb to their humanity? What if we increased taxes on alcohol and cigarettes by a few cents and invested in state-funded addiction treatment centers? Would less people be jailed (possibly saving money) in a country that cared better for the mentally ill and chronically addicted? Would there be less police brutality—and indifference—in a culture that featured more compassion, and potential solutions?
